Shirley MacLaine
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.

I don't do like diva trips and stuff.
Shirley MacLaine
The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesn't go out of her apartment because she's afraid she's going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.
Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
Shirley MacLaine
I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.
Shirley MacLaine
Why do people have to love people anyway?
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
It's a big deal for me to say I'm over politics.
