Here we get a deeper insight on Liv
as a person as other people talk abouther life, love, acting and other random
subjects.
dad -
Steven Tyler
"She's a little miracle, In four years she's gone from a little kid
with baby fat to this beautiful, exotic flower"
mom -
Bebe Buell
"She is my proudest life achievement: She and I have always been
great friends, and I simply adore her. I'm her biggest fan"
dad -
Steven Tyler
"Liv is possibly the biggest reason for me changing the way I lived.
She is a dream daughter. When she was very young I wasn't sure
whether I was the father but, by the time she was eight, I knew for
sure. I saw my features in hers and I cried. I started seeing her a
lot and I think her mother had alluded to the fact I was her dad. I
just said to her, 'Liv, there's something I want to tell you. I'm
your Daddy.' It was one of the most emotional moments of my life and
I just stood there crying like a baby while she shouted, 'I knew it,
I knew it.' I love her more than anything and have a great
relationship with her. We can talk about anything."
dad -
Steven Tyler
"In a way I am glad I didn't tell her before then, because I wasn't
dad material while I was doing all the drugs. I'm so happy now Liv
and I have a great relationship but I kick myself in the ass every
day for not being there for her when she was a baby."
Tom
Hanks
"Liv Tyler kind of stuns you when she walks through the door, before
she's ever said a word"
Ralph
Fiennes
"She is an instinctive, natural actor. She said it herself: She
needs to feel an emotional recognition in the moment. Research
doesn't solve the problem of an actor's commitment to the moment.
She has it. She is wonderful"
Ralph
Fiennes
"We tested lots of actresses, but Liv has an acute sense of
emotional truth that's not performed or projected, but just is."
Robert
Altman
"I was in Italy at some kind of awards, and Bertolucci was doing
Stealign Beauty at the time. And he said, 'You've got to see this
girl, she's unbelievable.' She has such beautiful skin, I see them
put makeup on her and I'm going, 'Why ?'"
James
Magnold, Heavy director
"Liv had never done a film when I first met her, but she had just
auditioned for the casting director of Luc Besson's The Professional
who was also casting Heavy. He sent her over to my place, and I was
just like 'Wow, I've just seen a movie star. A movie star just
visited my house; she's sixteen years old and I know she's going to
be a movie star!' And it wasn't just beauty. You could see the gears
spinning in her head as she sat in pauses between moments and I knew
very much that that was how the engine of the movie was going to
work - finding actors who were comfortable with the moments between
the lines. Most of us feel awkward in the moments we're not speaking;
we use speech as a defense - Which is probably why I don't shut up
in these interviews (laughs) - but Liv was so comfortable in those
unspoken moments, and so was Pruitt. They were people most
comfortable just being, and speaking was secondary to them."
ex-boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix
"What can I say ? We hit it off immediately. She's a darling. I've
said it over and over again. She's just very real, right there,
never like a movie star. She's so genuine, and she doesn't take
herself too seriously. It shows in the work she does that her
honesty stands out most."
ex-boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix
"I was in awe. Every once in a while you find an actor that, with
one word, can sum up eight different emotions. She absolutely nailed
that."
ex-boyfriend Joaquin Phoenix
"I`m a great believer in people coming into your life, and you into
theirs, for a reason. And i know that when Liv and I met, it was for
a reason - I really needed her and she really needed me. And at a
certain point, I think we stopped evolving with each other, stopped
progressing, and made a very mature decision to move on, even though
there was still a great love there. There`s no one gossipy thing
that I can share. I`m thankful that we had the time we had."
Martha
Fiennes, Onegin director
"The casting of the young heroine, Tatyana, came down to either Kate
Winslet or Liv Tyler. "It was very, very close-run," says Martha. "Kate
is probably the more experienced actor. I have to say I was very
excited by her, she is an extraordinary person. But with Liv there
was something very raw and untapped, something that came straight
from the heart. There's a truth about her, and a great and genuine
access to feeling which is wonderfully unselfconscious. At the same
time she is, of course, fantastic looking. A lot of the press on her
has tended to hone in on the sort of 'stunner-babe' areas that you
might expect, but there's so much more to her. She's genuine and
highly instinctive, wonderfully easy and funny - and hilariously
kooky at times."
Tom
Hanks
"The thing about Liv, is that she's really smart about the choices
she's making. At her stage in the business, it's very difficult to
say no to whatever comes along, because of all the money, attention,
and glamour being thrown at you. But she's saying no to all the
right things. This is an extremely well-grounded girl. She's the
oldest 18-year-old I've ever encountered."
Kevin of
the Backstreet Boys
"I think Liv Tyler is a really naturally beautiful girl and just
from interviews and things she seems like a beautiful person in the
inside as well. Even as she plays her characters as well. She seems
like she has a really good heart and is a pleasant person as well."
Patrick
O'Connor, Inventing The Abbots director
"Liv is a delightful combination of being very girlish and very wise."
Harald
Zwart, One Night At McCool's director
"Apart from being a great actress and being able to pull off three
different characters, which she did flawlessly, the camera loves
her! There's not a lot I need to do to convey the fact that guys
just fall over for her. The thing that surprised me the most about
her was that she was incredibly funny. She has a great sense of
humor. And I think she shows a great comedic talent in the film."
Julianne
Moore, Liv's co-star in Cookie's Fortune
"Liv Tyler is hands down the most beautiful woman in the world.
She's also beyond that, She really listens, really looks at people.
She takes her time"
Robert
Altman
"She's just a marvelous actress, Very serious, very prepared, and
very professional. I am crazy about her"
