Love Quote by Liza Minnelli

"Well, I've known Elizabeth almost all of her life and almost all of my life. And I love her with all of my heart and she's always been there for me. She's a wonderful, wonderful dame. She's a great lady"

About this Quote

Minnelli’s praise lands with the force of someone who’s survived the long, spotlighted grind of show business and still insists on tenderness. The repetition - “almost all of her life and almost all of my life” - does two things at once: it turns a celebrity friendship into a timeline, and it quietly asserts credibility. This isn’t a red-carpet compliment; it’s a relationship measured in decades, implying loyalty tested by the kinds of pressures most people never see.

The line “I love her with all of my heart” could read as generic devotion, but Minnelli’s delivery (and her public persona) makes it feel like an act of protection. In a culture that chews up women for sport, praising another woman that openly functions as a counter-move: refusing snark, refusing distance, refusing the cool-girl posture. “She’s always been there for me” is the real payload. It hints at hard chapters without naming them, which is often how celebrities speak when the backstory includes grief, addiction, scandal, or professional free-fall. The audience is invited to fill in the blanks.

Calling Elizabeth “a wonderful, wonderful dame” is old-school showbiz language, affectionate and slightly theatrical. “Dame” and “great lady” elevate her into an institution - not just talented, but built for endurance. Minnelli isn’t merely complimenting Elizabeth; she’s constructing a legacy shield, framing her as someone who should be handled with reverence, not gossip. It’s friendship as cultural rebuttal.
