More quotes by 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
I believe in UFOs, I believe in extraterrestrials, and I believe in angels. And maybe they'll protect all of us.
Shirley MacLaine
I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.
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
For if the talent or individuality is there, it should be expressed. If it doesn't find its way out into the air, it can be turned inward and gnaw like the fox at the Spartan boy's belly.
Shirley MacLaine
There are stars who are proficiently paranoid enough to hide what they really think. I can't.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
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
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
I'm an expert in hookers. I'm an expert in doormats. I'm an expert in victims. They were the best parts. And when I woke up--sociologically, politically, and creatively--I could no longer take those parts and look in the mirror.
Shirley MacLaine
Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.
Shirley MacLaine
I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
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 think people will become more and more aware that we are all more than we seem.
Shirley MacLaine
Remember what people used to say about meditation? Now everyone is doing it.
Shirley MacLaine
I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
Shirley MacLaine
I look like a real bag lady when I go to Starbucks with my dog and get my chai.
Shirley MacLaine
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
