Brooms Quote by Liza Minnelli
“She (Judy Garland) was a friend of mine, a trying friend, but a friend. That is what I tell myself: She did everything she ever wanted to do. She never really denied herself anything for me. See, I say, she had a wonderful life; she did what she wanted to do. And I have no right to change her fulfillment into my misery. I'm on my own broom now.”

![“I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.” quote by Winona Ryder](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/19e/winona-ryder-1469_boost_i-remember-when-i-was-doing-mermaids-199_418259.jpg)
