I don't feel competitive.

Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

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.

I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.

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.

Ballet is the repetitive training of the body for the purpose of executing steps in traditional fashion. It is tied to and bound by the past. 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
Image
I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. From that moment my life changed.

I think the world is in the mess it's in because we are spiritually ignorant.

I've gotten crankier in my old age.

If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

Remember what people used to say about meditation? Now everyone is doing it.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

We humans should never forget our capacity to connect with the collective spirit of animals. Their energy is essential to our future growth.

You have to surrender to the energy above and below.
