If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.

More quotes by Ali MacGraw
I think it's tough when you're very young and you maybe fall for the celebrity and being the center of attention.
Ali MacGraw
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.
Ali MacGraw
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Ali MacGraw
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
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
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
I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.
Ali MacGraw
I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.
Ali MacGraw
People tell me that I am well-grounded. I am sane in the New England sense of the word.
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
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
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
There are so many kinds of love, and they're all very intense for me.
Ali MacGraw
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
