Ali MacGraw
I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
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
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.

I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
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
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
Am I going to be able to be the person I want to be in this relationship?
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
You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.
Ali MacGraw
I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
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
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
Ali MacGraw
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.
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.
