More quotes by Ali MacGraw
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
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
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 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 think we live in a time where people are just insane on the subject of how they look.
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.

My ex-husband happens to be one of the most gifted moviemakers. And what is so bizarre about working with someone like that? I guess it is bizarre to be good friends with your ex-husband.
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
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
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.
Ali MacGraw
Am I going to be able to be the person I want to be in this relationship?
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
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 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
I don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
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
Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.
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.
