There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.

I think that I was lucky that I was 30 when I did 'Love Story', which came with this extravagant pop celebrity. I had already done 15 years of what I call 'real' work.' I was a waitress, chambermaid, and a photographer's assistant, so I knew that I was tremendously lucky as a novice actor to have that big hit.

I was really involved with other people's opinions of me, and it got heightened during my film career. I don't have any opinion, good or bad about it, it just was. It's not the way I feel now, and I think yoga has a lot to do with that.

I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.
Ali MacGraw
Image
Am I going to be able to be the person I want to be in this relationship?
Ali MacGraw

Here's what I had: I had the arrogance of saying I'd like to be in a 'good' movie, so in fact, when I was hot, I turned down a lot of stuff because I didn't think I wanted to watch it.

Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.

My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.

I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. And I travel a tremendous amount. I'm in New York and California a lot, but then also I like faraway places a lot.

It's not so much what do I want to be doing in 15 years, it's how I want to be in 15 years.
Ali MacGraw
Image
I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.
