Liv Tyler

Quote: Life excites me. I'm not talking about appearing in movies or doing interviews, but just little, normal, everyday things. Getting out of bed. Getting dressed. Making food. I find it all exciting, you know ? [Liv Tyler]

Quote: Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I have these slumber parties with my father [Steve Tyler], and when we can't sleep we stay up all night trading beauty tips. He knows all about the good creams and masks. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things, but you're old enough, too. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It's an amazing thing, really, it's a legitimate language. There are only a certain amount of people in the world who can speak it, like Oxford professors and what not. It's such a beautiful language too, it's really brilliant. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I just think it's really funny and entertaining. I mean, I don't necessarily take them really seriously - I don't even think a lot of really good films get seen. But I don't think that's what it's about. I mean, how amazing was Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For A Dream ? Especially as she was acting with herself most of the time. I don't understand how a performance like that can't win. I was so affected by that movie that I had to turn it off. I felt as if I was on drugs and my heart was about to leap out of my body. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It was a very good experience. It wasn't just to make a movie, it was my life. I was employed at The Lord of the Rings for a year and a half. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year's. My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friend's two little boys. They were going around the bedrooms opening the doors and looking in. When they got to our door, one little boy went to open it and the other said, 'No! Don?t open that door. The princess is sleeping in there.' It made my heart leap out of my chest. I think that was the first time I really realized the impact these films had on people. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I guess what I like most about NY is that it feels like home to me. I was born here in 1977 and have lived here, on and off, my whole life. I feel very connected to NY. I love how much it has to offer, though it still feels small and cozy. There are so many amazing things to see here: incredible art, just about every film, amazing music, all kinds of interesting people. I like to ride my bike on the Hudson River . I like that I can walk my dog around two blocks and he meets about 20 other dogs to play with. I like that I can get a turkey sandwich at 4 in the morning if I want to. A beautiful night out in NYC can be any night because anything can happen. It is spontaneous and surprises you all the time. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I don't live a very posh life. There are no drivers waiting or people doing everything for me. I pretty much live like a normal person. . . . It's not good to have a life without responsibilities, you know ? [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. ... But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It's terrifying. It's so scary, because you get used to being around the crew and being friendly with everyone and then suddenly, at a certain point, everything switches and you're the one standing behind the lights and nobody's going to help you. And that can be really difficult sometimes. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: Half my directors have no idea about my family situation. [Stealign Beauty director] Bernardo [Bertolucci] had no idea who Aerosmith was. People always want to take away from the work that you did, like they want to think it was easy, somehow. I got those parts because I worked hard to get them. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: The age I'm at now, you go from being a young girl to suddenly you blossom into a woman. You ripen, you know? And then you start to rot. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It's cool to be compared to her, but honestly who gives a damn. [About the comparison to Liz Taylor] [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It was so embarrassing, everytime I see it, I blush. Imagine if you saw yourselves like that. It's one thing to get dressed up and do the movie star thing, but I mean, it's my job to be outside of that and it's not like I'm on the outside when they're all watching me. [About the famous car wash scene from One Night at McCool's] [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I think,it was a smart idea to shoot it all at once, because the characters will be much more complete and convincing. We were living as those characters for a year and a half. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: It's very funny, and we really laughed a lot while we were making it and I could always tell how happy the director was by how hard he laughed behind the monitor. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I am amazed I have any fans at all!!! It makes me feel so good to know that I do. It makes me feel really good inside to know that there are some people out there who seem to understand me in some ways even though they don't know me in the flesh. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I am scared of becoming a mother. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I believe that a family is very important. You must have someone to come to after work to forget the stressful day. With Roy I have someone like that. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: Love what I do and I have no regrets, but the people I care about are by far the most important thing. I would kill for them. They make my life worth living. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: I don't want to spend so much time obsessing about myself. I love to cook and I love to eat. And yet, if I am not careful, I could be considered chubby in the film business. That's why it is great for me not to live in Hollywood. I love to go to the country where I can wear my pajamas all day long if I want. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: Armageddon was not an acting experience. That's why I was depressed. It was about the effects and not about the performances. I had the really rough part of being the emotional person who's like, you know, upset all the time. [Liv Tyler]

Quote: There's pressure all the time. It's stressful going to a premiere and having to look perfect, and everybody scrutinizes what you're wearing. It's scary. There's so much emphasis put on the physical. [Liv Tyler]
