I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
Shirley MacLaine
I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.
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
God bless that potential that we all have for making anything possible if we think we deserve it. I deserve this.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well. I would say that, as much as you can instill your open-minded naivety, if you're basically open minded, then you can do damn near anything.
Shirley MacLaine
I make my mistakes in public.
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
I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a problem.
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.
Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
Shirley MacLaine
On things she had to pack before leaving her home in advance of a forest fire, 1996. Childhood pictures and pictures of my life. Do you know how many pictures that is? Not just this life I have pictures from 13,000 lives.
Shirley MacLaine
In some ways, America has grown up to be a masterpiece of self-concern.
Shirley MacLaine
Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
Shirley MacLaine
My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
I think the world is in the mess it's in because we are spiritually ignorant.
Shirley MacLaine
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Shirley MacLaine
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. From that moment my life changed.
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
