More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
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
Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Shirley MacLaine
If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
Shirley MacLaine
Dance is an art that imprints on the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do.
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 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.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm not sure I'll come back to this planet. I may come back to another one.
Shirley MacLaine
I watched my head rolling on the floor. It landed face up and a big tear came out of one eye.
Shirley MacLaine
There's no journey worth taking except the journey through one's self. That's the most important journey you take. I found that out as I went around the world many times: I was learning about me.
Shirley MacLaine
I loved the idea of doing a love story with people over the age of 60 and a film that will hopefully give so many of the audience a chance to see themselves on the screen.
Shirley MacLaine
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
I thought playing an angel would be very good for my image.
Shirley MacLaine
I can't give up my own identity.
Shirley MacLaine
