Shirley MacLaine
Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.
Shirley MacLaine
You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
Shirley MacLaine
I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.
Shirley MacLaine
The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
Shirley MacLaine
I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.
Shirley MacLaine
He's a real gentleman. I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.
