Personal quotes:
I
didn't really understand it at first. I didn't understand how a movie about
a young girl - only about a young girl, especially me - could be interesting
for two hours.
- Liv Tyler, on her movie
Stealing Beauty
I have these slumber parties with my father (Aerosmith's
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
"It
was really funny and uncomfortable to have Richard
Gere looking between your legs all day long... because he really didn't
know what he was doing with all those instruments and I was like, 'No, it would
go a bit lower!'" [Gere played a gynecologist in
Dr. T and the Women]
"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." - US Magazine. Issue 221.
"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
