Elizabeth Taylor

 

Barbara Walters: When you hear people saying, “Elizabeth Taylor, now she’s a 1)legend.”

Elizabeth Taylor: That always sounds to me like an 2)obituary. Um, I don’t feel dead yet. People have asked me why I don’t write a book, because I’m still living it. I’m still, my life is still writing chapters. I’m not ready to sit and 3)contemplate the past. I’m too busy living the present. I’m looking forward to the future.

 

芭芭拉·沃尔特：你有没有听人们说：“伊丽莎白·泰勒，她现在是一个传奇人物。”

伊丽莎白·泰勒：这听起来很像悼词。我觉得我还活着。有人问我为什么不写书立传，那是因为我至今还活在世上，我还活着。我的生活还在书写新的篇章。我不准备坐下来，思考过去。眼前的生活就够我忙的，我盼望未来。
