Liv Tyler Quotes:
  • "I've been told that if I lose weight I'd have more work, but I refuse to submit myself to Hollywood standards. To the rest of the world I am slim and I like the way I am."
  • "I have these slumber parties with my father and when we can't sleep we stay up all night trading beauty tips. He knows all about the good creams and masks."
  • About her favorite smell: "Those smells that remind me of home. I can smell my dad [Steven Tyler (I)] from a mile away. I can smell it whenever he's worn my clothes. He has this ambery smell that just melts into him."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • On playing Arwen in Lord of the Rings: "It wasn't until I came back home after such a long time away that I realized how much hype there was about this. I get to play someone 3,000 years old. I'm 23, so that's quite an acting challenge."
  • "I have this incredible eagerness to learn everything I can, but I get really mad at myself. I talk to adults so much--they've been around for so much longer than me and have so much more knowledge. I just don't know anything about great art and literature, and I want to watch as many movies as I can."
  • "I don't know if you ever get used to fame."
