More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
bonding through dependence never works, whereas bonding through freedom always does.
Shirley MacLaine
All you really need in life is some fresh water, a good hat, and a really good pair of shoes.
Shirley MacLaine
Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
I think the world is in the mess it's in because we are spiritually ignorant.
Shirley MacLaine
You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.
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
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
Nothing should be permanent except struggle with the dark side within ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a lot of friends who are around. I'm having a wonderful time in my life now with my platonic relationships with men and women, because when that sexual tension is off the requirement of the interplay, then you get to who the people really are, and to yourself.
Shirley MacLaine
The more sex becomes a non-issue in people's lives, the happier they are.
Shirley MacLaine
You know when you eat too many sweets and get diabetes? Paparazzi are the diabetes of materialistic culture.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.
Shirley MacLaine
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.
Shirley MacLaine
The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
Shirley MacLaine
It's not going to be about money. It's going to be about who am I, what have I done and where am I going.
Shirley MacLaine
He [Jimmy Carter] says his lust is in his heart. I hope it's a little lower.
Shirley MacLaine
Movie makers now choose profit over vision.
Shirley MacLaine
I thought playing an angel would be very good for my image.
Shirley MacLaine
The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesn't go out of her apartment because she's afraid she's going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer.
Shirley MacLaine
If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
Shirley MacLaine
