Below is a selection of quotes by characters portrayed by Liv in various movies. The movies are listed in alphabetical order.

Armageddon as Grace Stamper

Grace: I understand that you are handicapped by a natural immaturity, and I forgive you.

Grace: Listen, Harry, A.J. is my choice - my choice and not yours.
Harry Stamper: He's the only one in your age bracket, Grace. That's not a choice, that's a lack of options.

A.J.: You know what I was thinking?
Grace: What?
A.J.: I really don't think that the animal cracker qualifies as a cracker.
Grace: Why?
A.J.: Well cause it's sweet, which to me suggests cookie, I mean well putting cheese on something is sort of a defining characteristic of what makes a cracker a cracker. I don't know why I thought of that, I just...
Grace: Baby, you have such sweet pillow talk.

Grace: First time I got my period, Rock had to take me to Tai-Pei for Tampax. Then he had to show me how to use them.
[Off Harry's stern look]
Rockhound: I told her how to use them. I didn't show her, Harry.

Grace: You have not told them yet. That is my father up there!
Dan: [to General Kimsey] This is one order you shouldn't follow and you fucking know it!

Grace: Baby, do you think its possible that there's someone doing this very same thing at this very same time?
A.J.: I hope so, otherwise, what the hell are we trying to save?

Harry Stamper: Grace, I know I promised you I was coming home.
Grace: I don't understand.
Harry Stamper: [sighs] Looks like I'm going to have to break that promise.

Grace: Well, I lied to you too... when I said I didn't want to be like you, because I am like you. Everything good in me I have from you.


Cookie's Fortune as Emma Duvall

Emma: So I'm part black!

[the police lab reports that Camille is a hemophiliac]
Otis Tucker: A condition under which, in times of extreme stress, her blood will not clot properly. Emma, Camille Dixon is your aunt, isn't she?
Emma: Unfortunately.
Otis Tucker: You ever seen her suffer from this condition?
Emma: Unfortunately not.


Empire Records as Corey Mason

Corey: My dad always said that there's 24 usable hours in every day.

Corey: So is this how your life's gonna be now, huh? You're just gonna screw every has-been until your tits fall down and they don't want you anymore?

Corey: I'm not like you, I don't need to do what you do with guys.
Gina: Oh, I see, not like me, the turbo-slut.

Debra: I guess nobody really has it all together.
Corey: No.
Debra: I feel like I should welcome you to the club or something. Anyway, did you really want to do Rex Manning in the count-out room? Is that how you always imagined your first time would be? Your back up against the daily totals and your feet pounding against the safe- Oh Rexy stop that. You're so sexy.
Corey: Why are you being so nice to me?
Debra: Let's save our Hallmark moment.


Inventing the Abbotts as Pamela Abbott

Pamela: Don't look at me as though someone just ran over your dog!

DougHolt: Either you're mad at me because you're mad at me or you're mad at me because you like me, because that's how girls act. I mean ... I don't know much but I know that. So, uh, which is it?
Pamela: Both.

Pamela: Look, I'm not rich. My father is. And I don't pick my father. And if I had a choice between having tons of money or having another father, I'd be absolutely deligthed to be poor. But unfortunately, life is just not a cafeteria.


Jersey Girl as Maya

Maya: That was kinda sweet. I'm kinda crushin' on you right now, Trinke.

Maya: I do it at least twice a day.
Ollie: Good God!

Maya: Forget about what you thought you were and just accept who you are.

Maya: Man cannot live on porn alone.


Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring as Arwen

Witch-King: Give up the Halfling, She-Elf!
Arwen: [draws her sword] If you want him, come and claim him!

Arwen: What's this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?

Arwen: Why do you fear the past? You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself. You are not bound to his fate.
Aragorn: The same blood flows in my veins. The same weakness.
Arwen: Your time will come. You will face the same evil, and you will defeat it.

Arwen: Do you remember when we first met?
Aragorn: I thought I had wandered into a dream.
Arwen: Long years have passed. You did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you?
Aragorn: You said you'd bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people.
Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.
[hands him her pendant]
Arwen: I choose a mortal life.
Aragorn: You cannot give me this.
Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.

[after defeating the Ringwraiths at the Ford, Frodo collapses]
Arwen: Frodo? Frodo, no!
[Frodo begins to have a harder time breathing]

[She holds Frodo close to her body and begins to cry]
Arwen: What Grace is given me, let it pass to him. Let him be spared. Save him.


Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King as Arwen

[Arwen is running into Rivendell and going up to her father]
Arwen: Tell me what you have seen.
Elrond: Arwen.
Arwen: You have the gift of foresight. What did you see?
Elrond: I looked into your future, and I saw death.
Arwen: But there was also life. You saw there was a child, you saw my son.
Elrond: That future is almost gone.
Arwen: But it is not lost.
Elrond: Nothing is certain.
Arwen: Some things are certain. If I leave him now, I will regret it forever.

Elrond: Your hands are cold. The life of the Eldar is leaving you.
Arwen: This was my choice... Ada, whether by your will or not, there is no ship now that can bear me hence.

Arwen: From the ashes, a fire will be woken. A light from the darkness shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

[Aragorn is dreaming of Arwen, who has just given up her immortality]
Arwen: I wish I could have seen him again, one last time.


Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers as Arwen

Arwen: Go to sleep.
Aragorn: I am asleep. This is a dream.
Arwen: Then it is a good dream.

Elrond: He is not coming back. Why do you linger here when there is no hope?
Arwen: There is still hope.


Onegin as Tatyana Larina

Tatyana: [writing letter] Dearest Evgeny, I write to you, it is all I can do. And now I know it is in your power to punish my presuming heart. Yet if you have one drop of pity, you'll not abandon me to my unhappy fate. I am in love with you and I must tell you this or my heart, my heart which belongs to you, will surely break. I would never have revealed my shame to you, if just once a week I might see you. Exchange a word or two and then think day and night of one thing alone til our next meeting. But you're unsociable, they say, that the country bores you. Is it true? Does the country bore you? Sometimes I wonder that you ever visited us. Why, I'd never have known you or known this agony and fever. I know that all my life's been leading me to this union with you. I recognised you at first sight and knew with certainty. I said to myself, It's him, he has come. Help me, resolve my doubts. Perhaps all this is nonsence, emptiness, a delusion and quite another fate awaits me. Imagine it, I'm here alone half out of my mind. I dread to read this over, my secret longing. I know that I can trust your honour, though I feel faint from shame and fear, Tatyana.

Nanya: You can't change your fate.
Tatyana: Why not?

Tatyana: Why? Why do you pursue me like this?

Tatyana: Why should one human being own another?

Tatyana: Am I noble enough for you now?

Tatyana: Oh God. It hurts.
Evgeny Onegin: Why does it hurt?
Tatyana: Because you are too late. Yes, you are too late Evgeny.


One Night at McCool's as Jewel

Randy: You like water?
Jewel: I love it. It's actually my second favorite thing in the world.
Randy: Really? And what's your first most?
Jewel: Fucking.


Plunkett & Macleane as Lady Rebecca Gibson

Rebecca: So you consider yourself a gentlemen?
Macleane: Yes.
Rebecca: What a pity.


Stealing Beauty as Lucy Harmon

Lucy: Why are you crying?
Osvaldo Donati: Because I want to kiss you.


That Thing You Do! as Faye Dolan

Faye: You mean actually make a record? A record record, record?

Faye: Was she a good kisser?
Guy: Yeah.
Faye: Yeah?
Guy: It would be ungentlemanly of me to elaborate.

Faye: I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.
