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

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
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 don't enjoy other people's dramas, and I don't enjoy mine.
Ali MacGraw
I fully expect to be doing yoga for the rest of my life.
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
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'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'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
I want to be a person who makes a quiet difference.
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
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.
