People like Elizabeth Dole have given too much power to the special interests.
My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances; we’ve become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.
Growing up in America, even in the rougher parts of Elizabeth, I had two nice playgrounds to choose from as a child.
Elizabeth Taylor has reinvented herself and her image time and time again. The results have often helped redefine modern fashion.
Well, I’ve known Elizabeth almost all of her life and almost all of my life. And I love her with all of my heart and she’s always been there for me. She’s a wonderful, wonderful dame. She’s a great lady.
I am a big Bewitched fan… something about the way Elizabeth Montgomery twitched her nose.
The people I tend to look to and reference are Hollywood icons; Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Rita Hayworth.
There’s four biggies. There was Elizabeth I, George III, Victoria, and the current queen, who really dominated four eras.

If your husband’s going to leave you for anyone, it might as well be Elizabeth Taylor.
My dream mixed-tag match has always been against the ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth.
Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.
If only Queen Elizabeth II had the intellectual, political and linguistic skills of Queen Elizabeth I, many people would support giving her some of the powers of an elected president.
I certainly like the rumour that I was the father of Elizabeth Hurley’s baby. It made me think I could impregnate women in a different way to everyone else. Elizabeth and I were never alone in a room together, so I must be a very powerful man indeed. Actually, I’m thinking of suing the baby!
I never wanted to emulate anyone. Oh, I loved Elizabeth Taylor, Mae West, Lucille Ball. But I never tried to copy. I always wanted to be an original.
Mark Haddon’s ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’ was published while I was trying to work out how to write ‘Elizabeth Is Missing,’ and reading the story of that impaired amateur detective gave me the licence I needed to attempt one of my own.
I think I am the Elizabeth Barrett of 2015. Not in terms of genius but in bed a lot.
My friends are very rich. Elizabeth Taylor sends flowers the size of the bathtub. I’m not kidding.
The studio system collapsed only when Elizabeth Taylor charged $1 million for Cleopatra.
When I was writing my first novel, ‘Elizabeth is Missing,’ I was writing the only novel I had ever written and writing about the only protagonist I’d ever written about. Because of this, I didn’t think of her as a construct. Maud was real.
The classic hat image was during the Forties and Fifties, and Elizabeth Taylor was the epitome of that; she was the ultimate celebrity of excess and glamour, and she worked major sun hats.
When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.
I thought I had a handle on my priorities before Elizabeth and I lost our oldest son to stillbirth.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning could write a poem two pages long. Could she have brought it to a music publisher?
When I first went to interview for ‘Misery,’ they were saying things like, ‘You’re not Michelle Pfeiffer, you know.’ And I just don’t get the relevance of that remark. I’m not Elizabeth Taylor, either. I’m not Sean Connery.
I like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, as it’s great for soothing dry skin and adding shine. I use it instead of balm, too.
I really, really loved Elizabeth and Will from ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’ I think a lot of people did.
I don’t apologize for my diamonds, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover, or anything. Look, Queen Elizabeth has more diamonds than me. Why don’t people attack her for it?
A few weeks before the jubilee began in 2002, Queen Elizabeth died, and the public outpouring of grief and affection, with hundreds of thousands of people queuing for hours to pass by her coffin, showed how widely and deeply loved she was.
I’d like to be Queen Elizabeth.
As a director, my job is to spend money, and the producer’s is to save money. Masoom, Bandit Queen and the first Queen Elizabeth have been my most uncompromised films.
There’s only one Elizabeth like me and that’s the Queen.
My first Broadway show was with Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton. Maureen Stapleton, a legend in the theatre; Elizabeth Taylor, a legend, period.
Kenya has deep resonances for the royals: it was here, after all, that the young Princess Elizabeth heard of the death of her father, George VI. From that moment, she was Queen.
Elizabeth Taylor has more chins than the Chinese telephone directory.
I check Trump every time he says something crazy. I told him to stop calling Elizabeth Warren ‘Pocahontas.’
This is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth? I’m coming to join ya, honey!
I’ve been friends with Elizabeth Banks since ‘Wet Hot American Summer.’
Elizabeth Warren fully intends to change the system, and says so. When she said how good it felt to be with working people in a workers’ hall, you knew it wasn’t a platitude.
I will admit, I once launched myself at Julie Garwood for a hug, hoping some of her magic would rub off on me… and I have fangirl crushes on Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Linda Howard, and Kresley Cole, among many others.
My food hero would be someone like Elizabeth David, because I think what she did for Britain was amazing. Also David Thompson, an Australian chef who does Thai food and really understands the basis of it, has always been very inspiring.
Prime ministers come and go, but so long as he or she lives, the sovereign remains, receiving and reading all state papers and meeting once a week with the prime minister to advise, enquire, and comment – sometimes sharply, as was the case with Queen Elizabeth II and Mrs. Thatcher – on affairs of state.
British cookbook author Elizabeth David led the most adventurous life but is widely credited with bringing to the fore the importance of home cooking.
The spirit of non-conformity is as prevalent now in my part of west Yorkshire as it was in the time of my two immediate predecessors, Mike Wood and Elizabeth Peacock.
I’m absolutely an Elizabeth Taylor fan!
I love Mayor Pete. I’ve always liked Joe Biden. I like Elizabeth Warren.
I was just a beginner, and she and I were not in any manner alike, but we got along very well because I was in awe of going to school with Elizabeth Taylor.
I was at a benefit for some imprisoned students in the ’60s at San Francisco State, and there were lots of poets reading for the benefit: one was Elizabeth Bishop.
I admire Toni Morrison, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, James Baldwin, Elizabeth Strout, D. O. Fagunwa, Sefi Atta, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Colm Toibin and Junot Diaz. It’s a long list that keeps growing.
I start ‘The Code Book’ with the story of Mary Queen of Scots and the Babington Plot, which was foiled when Mary’s enciphered messages fell into the hands of Elizabeth I’s codebreakers.
Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.
My grandmother lived on Elizabeth Street in Little Italy, and she used to go to church every day. She’d go in, light a candle, she’d pray, and as a child, that was comforting to me.
Eddie Fisher married to Elizabeth Taylor is like me trying to wash the Empire State Building with a bar of soap.
I worked starting when I was 14. I was the reservationist at the Elizabeth Howard dinner theater. They had never hired someone in high school, let alone a 14-year-old.
Burleigh, absolutely; and a lot about Elizabeth. I mean I found when I play Henry V a lot of connections with the hidden history of the connection between Francis Bacon and Elizabeth.
There are writers for whom names mean nothing; everybody could be called John and Elizabeth, and the writing would be just as good. A name, of course, is like a piece of clothing, isn’t it? It gives you an impression right away.
In the face of postwar austerity, hundreds of brides-to-be across the country sent Princess Elizabeth their clothing coupons so that she could have the dress of their dreams.
Of course I had written a film about Elizabeth I, and I loved the Tudor period, and I think at the time Working Title and I had debated on whether to do Elizabeth I or Henry VIII. I’d always wanted to do Henry VIII. Like Elizabeth, I’d had this feeling that it had never properly been addressed.
I like some of Annie Proulx, some of those very brief stories of hers. And I love J. M. Coetzee’s Elizabeth Costello. I like Geoff Dyer. I also liked W. G. Sebald, especially his book ‘The Emigrants’.
I think that I altered history in ‘Elizabeth,’ and I interpreted history far more than Danny Boyle or Richard Attenborough did to ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ or ‘Gandhi.’ They took Indian novels or Indian characters and very much stayed within the Indian diaspora.
