All you really need in life is some fresh water, a good hat, and a really good pair of shoes.
Shirley MacLaine
I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
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.

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

Shirley MacLaine
He's a real gentleman. I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.
Shirley MacLaine
There are stars who are proficiently paranoid enough to hide what they really think. I can't.
Shirley MacLaine
Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.
Shirley MacLaine
I thought playing an angel would be very good for my image.
Shirley MacLaine
The loss of magic is the denial of unlimited possibility.
Shirley MacLaine
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
It's not going to be about money. It's going to be about who am I, what have I done and where am I going.
Shirley MacLaine
God bless that potential that we all have for making anything possible if we think we deserve it. I deserve this.
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 think in the end we all know that our best friend is ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. That's the journey.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to be talentedly insecure in order to be a good actress. And then it's the director's job to make you more miserable and get a good take.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
