We were supposed to be the children mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.
Shirley MacLaine

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
On the stage you try to act real. On the screen you try to be real.
