More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
Shirley MacLaine
Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.
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
Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
All you really need in life is some fresh water, a good hat, and a really good pair of shoes.

Shirley MacLaine
My mother was Canadian, so you never knew what she was thinking.
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
On the stage you try to act real. On the screen you try to be real.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
We are not victims of the world we see, we are victims of the way we see the world.
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 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.
