A Quote by Elizabeth Taylor

I'm just an instinctive actress, I've never had a lesson in my life. — © Elizabeth Taylor
I'm just an instinctive actress, I've never had a lesson in my life.
I have never planned my career. I never wanted to be an actress. Films were an instinctive step, just like modelling and television.
I never pictured myself in California. I just thought I would be a character actress in New York on the stage. I never really had that stardom goal; I just wanted to be able to work as an actress and not as a waitress.
When I started, I'd never had a conducting lesson in my life; I could just do it.
The thinnest I've ever been was after I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull. I went down to 112 pounds and realized my brain doesn't work when I'm that thin, so I can't do my job. That's why, when I came out here, I never had that whole Hollywood pressure thing. I never said I wanted to be a lead actress; I never said I wanted to be a film actress. This need to trump everyone bewilders me. I'm only 25. I'm not better than anyone. I just want to watch other people and learn to be good.
Vocally, I had never taken a lesson when I put out my videos. It was just a lot of fun. I had watched my dad play guitar, so I just sort of did the same thing.
My new one (tattoo) says 'Never a failure, always a lesson' and is kind of my mantra to life, just a reminder. My life is just a crazy rollercoaster every day and whenever I read that it just reassures me.
I've never had an acting lesson. I've never been given techniques. Everything I've done is invented. I just sort of found out [how to do it].
The only moral lesson which is suited for a child--the most important lesson for every time of life--is this: 'Never hurt anybody.
I've had enough experience with knowing that things will turn out just fine. I pray for that. There's a lesson in everything. Looking for the lesson is grounding.
I've never had an acting lesson in my life. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing.
I have never struggled for anything in my life because I never thought I will be an actress. Film just walked up to my house with 'Abodh.'
I always knew I wanted to be an actress, and I had the attitude that I would learn more under people like Samuel L. Jackson, Laurence Fishburne or Mike Myers than from someone who had never starred in a movie. I just didn't think that someone who had never been in a movie could teach me how to act in one.
I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought "Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again." I've got thousands of songs.
I've always been a natural singer on stage and in the studio - never had a vocal lesson in my life.
I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.
I learn the techniques and then take what I need. I have the Essie Davis technique of acting. I'm an instinctive actress.
