My grandmother, whom I adored, and who partly raised me, loved Liberace, and she watched Liberace every afternoon, and when she watched Liberace, she'd get dressed up and put on makeup because I think she thought if she could see Liberace, Liberace could see her.

You've never met anyone who likes Christmas more than me. I go quite Liberace. My kids have all got stick-on antlers.
Claudia Winkleman
Liberace - or Lee, as us friends called him - was great. He was gay, you know.
Debbie Reynolds
I knew Mrs. Liberace. Lee and I were great friends. I know the whole inside story.
When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.
Elton John
I do think there is a bit of Liberace in me.
Jenny Packham
'Liberace's a great film. It's a great piece of material. I have a great script and it's a great score.
Jerry Weintraub
Bush is the Liberace of Cuban politics. He knows how to play us. He says every single thing they want to hear.
Joe Garcia
You can have either the Resurrection or you can have Liberace. But you can't have both.
Liberace
When I turned about 14, I developed a friendship with this guy whose mom was the secretary to Ernest Angley, the faith healer, who's very popular in the Midwest. He had a television show, and he was sort of like Liberace mixed with Jerry Falwell - very glitzy, very high-tech.
Marilyn Manson
Liberace was one of the biggest stars in America. He was a kind of a phenomenon.
Michael Douglas
Liberace was a lovely guy.
I'm Liberace without a piano.
Paul Lynde
The real Liberace - and I'll preface this by saying that I didn't know the real one - was a man who didn't come from much. His father left him and his family for another woman. His father was a musician, which I thought was pretty interesting.
Richard LaGravenese
No other entertainer in the world ever took the risks that Liberace took.
Robin Leach
If it weren't for Liberace, there would be no Madonna or Lady Gaga, Elton John, Bette Midler, or Elvis because it was Liberace who helped the King glitz up his act.
'Behind The Candelabra' is an HBO movie. It's the Liberace story. Michael Douglass and Matt Damon. I play a small part in it. I play a choreographer who introduces, brings Matt Damon to Las Vegas for the first time.
Scott Bakula
Liberace was a miracle. You talk about who he was and what he did, and then you look at who he inspired, from Elton John to Cher to Michael Jackson to Bette Midler. There are so many people that came to see him. Elvis was there, watching his shows.
I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
