More quotes by Ali MacGraw
If you want to be watched 24 hours a day in everything you do, you can't turn that around. You can't wake up three years later and say, 'Stop bothering me, I'm a serious actor,' if all you've done is wear certain clothes and show up half-loaded at clubs.

When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
Ali MacGraw
I'm a New Yorker, and working in New York was divine for me. I loved working there and going to work there, which I've been able to do three or four times in my career, and I just love it. It's my favorite.
Ali MacGraw
The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

It's been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am.
Ali MacGraw
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.
Ali MacGraw
I think something will soon have to be done to protect people from hacking and blogging and lying and spreading rumors and chasing you down the street. Lives are wrecked that way.
Ali MacGraw
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
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
Ali MacGraw
I had no real experience studying acting I came to it having done other things for a living for many, many years, and I have this gigantic respect for experience and technique.
Ali MacGraw
Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.
Ali MacGraw
I'm in total awe of the technique of great film people. Because if you get your emotional life up to perfection by miracle on Take One, you better have a technique to keep doing it again and again and again.
Ali MacGraw
I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.
Ali MacGraw
Every one of us gets to find our way, hopefully surrounded by love, but we still have to pick out our own way through the land mines of life. By accepting this and relinquishing control, there's just extraordinary beauty.
Ali MacGraw
There's so much craziness that comes along with being a movie star that you can get so confused. Unless you've spent your whole life waiting to be the centre of attention, it's pretty terrifying.
Ali MacGraw
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.
Ali MacGraw
In film, there's so many little things where not just the actor can blow his lines, but technically, it doesn't quite come off in the perfect way envisioned.
Ali MacGraw
I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.
Ali MacGraw
I'm much more famous than I am rich, but I'm able to scale back my lifestyle. I know a lot of people who were where I was who can't imagine living any simpler, but I haven't got a lot of expensive wants.
