More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.
Shirley MacLaine
I have never seen myself as leading for others. What's important is that I know who I am. Not completely. But I'm coming around third base.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm an artist, therefore I think I am sensitive to human pain.

Shirley MacLaine
Movie makers now choose profit over vision.
Shirley MacLaine

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
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
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
I can't give up my own identity.
Shirley MacLaine
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
