Things are done according to money these days.
Shirley MacLaine
In terms of my life, I guess I want to share whatever I've learned really, which is basically one thing: know yourself, look for yourself, know what to look for, cherish it, be honest, be authentic, even if it hurts your feelings. That's not bad.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.
Shirley MacLaine
One can become as intellectually arrogant about spirituality as about empirical science.
Shirley MacLaine
In some ways, America has grown up to be a masterpiece of self-concern.
Shirley MacLaine
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
Shirley MacLaine
He [Jimmy Carter] says his lust is in his heart. I hope it's a little lower.
Shirley MacLaine
We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.
Shirley MacLaine
...One individual is his or her own best teacher, and no other idol or false image should be worshiped or adored because the God we are all seeking lies inside oneself, not outside.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
