More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.
Shirley MacLaine
If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
Shirley MacLaine
I have never seen myself as leading for others. What's important is that I know who I am. Not completely. But I'm coming around third base.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a lot of friends who are around. I'm having a wonderful time in my life now with my platonic relationships with men and women, because when that sexual tension is off the requirement of the interplay, then you get to who the people really are, and to yourself.
Shirley MacLaine
He's a real gentleman. I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.
Shirley MacLaine
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. From that moment my life changed.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well. I would say that, as much as you can instill your open-minded naivety, if you're basically open minded, then you can do damn near anything.
Shirley MacLaine
Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals amplify the consciousness.
Shirley MacLaine
Ballet is the repetitive training of the body for the purpose of executing steps in traditional fashion. It is tied to and bound by the past. It is a disciplined beauty consciously preserved in the image of the old days in societies that were class-conscious and appreciative of elitist physical expertise.
Shirley MacLaine
My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm an expert in hookers. I'm an expert in doormats. I'm an expert in victims. They were the best parts. And when I woke up--sociologically, politically, and creatively--I could no longer take those parts and look in the mirror.
Shirley MacLaine
I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
Shirley MacLaine
I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
Shirley MacLaine
I loved the idea of doing a love story with people over the age of 60 and a film that will hopefully give so many of the audience a chance to see themselves on the screen.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm an artist, therefore I think I am sensitive to human pain.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
Shirley MacLaine
Why do people have to love people anyway?
