Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
Shirley MacLaine
Hollywood always had a streak of the totalitarian in just about everything it did. The old moguls were essentially hard-fisted authoritarians who had created a system of linked dictatorships to control the creative people. We were supposed to be the children mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.
Shirley MacLaine
Things are done according to money these days.
Shirley MacLaine
I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
Shirley MacLaine
We humans should never forget our capacity to connect with the collective spirit of animals. Their energy is essential to our future growth.
Shirley MacLaine
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
