Elizabeth Taylor Quotes

What's the greater risk? Letting go of what people think - or letting go of how I feel, what I believe, and who I am?

I've fully embraced who I am. I stopped fighting with people and just come to realize, 'This is me. This is all of me.'

I know what my identity is.

If I am not pleased with myself, but should wish to be other than I am, why should I think highly of the influences which have made me what I am?

It's not like my old self - I'm not in character anymore, I'm me. I'm not hiding behind that anymore.

I have no issues with my identity.

It's one thing for other people to see potential in you, and it's quite another for you to understand that and see it in yourself.

You have to know who you are, if you don't you have nightmares.

I think that more and more there's a sense that the best performances I can give are the ones that are the truest to who I am. The further I move away from who I am, the worse they are.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I have no doubt who I am.

You can feel I am whatever you want to feel I am. God knows who I am, and I know who I am.

It seems that different people have an idea of what I am, and what I should be. And then there's me.

That's a song about reaching deep inside yourself where you can completely be who you are.

I do know one thing about me: I don't measure myself by others' expectations or let others define my worth.

I want to be defined by my own essence.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.

There's absolutely no way you can feel the freedom to embarrass and humiliate yourself unless you have finally recognized that your identity is in someone other than yourself.

I've never, ever labeled myself.

In the end I'm the only one who knows me.

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.

If we can soften our hearts, and if we can access the pure and simple aspect of our nature, then we can regain the realization that everything we need is already inside us and anything is attainable.

Everyone is necessarily the hero of their own imagination.
