A gay icon praising and giving inside scoop about other gay icons?! Christmas came early this year!
We can take the truth, Liza, let us have it...
On Judy Garland:
"One day, I said to her: 'Mama, why are you always so sad when you sing Over The Rainbow?' She looked at me. 'It’s what they want, Now let’s go get a hamburger.' Forget anything you’ve read. That’s how I remember her. That’s my reality."
On Lady Gaga:
"I love Lady Gaga. Not long ago, I went to see her show. Someone came up to me at the end and asked if I’d come backstage. Lady Gaga wanted to meet me. There she was, her hair normal, no weird costume. Just a simple dressing gown. She looked like a nice kid. She said: 'You’re my favourite. You’re my hero.' There were photographers who wanted a picture of us together so she turned towards them and opened the front of her dressing gown. I immediately closed it. I laughed. She’s into the Madonna thing: shock value. And it works. But the girl has a big talent."
On Madonna:
"I think she’s terrific. When I’m chatting to her, she’s just normal, the opposite of grand. We’ll meet in a restaurant with friends. Or hang out at a party. She’s always interesting and interested. She’s smart as hell and keeps her eyes peeled. She misses nothing."
That's nice and all, but we wonder what she has to say about Bette or Cher?!
Liza on (and off) men:
"I’ve decided I want three lovers. The first would be enormously rich, with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin. The second would be someone who’s passionate about something — science, painting, anything, I don’t care. Passion is so sexy. And finally, I want someone who comes to see me twice a week. I don’t even have to know his name."
At 65 she is still teaching lessons to gay men everywhere. Take note!
