Queen Elizabeth quotes from Reign

Queen Elizabeth

I am nothing less than a Tudor queen.

Queen Elizabeth

I will not be remembered as the queen that drew first blood.

Queen Elizabeth

Damn your ego! Insisting on having a son when you had me! Your own flesh and blood!

Queen Elizabeth

I'm the queen of England. I represent something glorious for everyone. And if you want to banish every person who is dazzled by me, we'll be a nation of mainly women. And even then our ranks may be depleted.

Queen Elizabeth

You are more precious to me than my nation, and if I could give up England for you and survive, I would.

Queen Elizabeth

I will always, always be yours.

Queen Elizabeth

Speak! While there is still mercy in my heart!

Queen Elizabeth

I do not require a lesson in suffering from the likes of you!

Queen Elizabeth

I am England and I need no one to save me! Not from Spain, not from the Catholic Church, not from anyone. I am Elizabeth Tudor and I will bow to no man. I will face ever threat to my reign with sword in hand. And any who shall stand in my way shall fall.

Queen Elizabeth

Because I cannot have her blood on my hands. And I cannot let her go.

Queen Elizabeth

I am paying the price! I feel like a prisoner.

Some prison.

Your Highness, you are a vision.

Queen Elizabeth

And you a charmer, I see.

Mary, Queen of Scots, will forever threaten you.

Queen Elizabeth

Then it will be the challenge of my life not to kill her.

Queen Elizabeth

If you love me, William, you will support me.

Help you steal a husband?

People are suspicious, Majesty, after so many spurned proposals. Perhaps if you told me why marriage was suddenly so important.

Queen Elizabeth

The Queen changed her mind. How about that?
