There's no journey worth taking except the journey through one's self. That's the most important journey you take. I found that out as I went around the world many times: I was learning about me.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm an expert in hookers. I'm an expert in doormats. I'm an expert in victims. They were the best parts. And when I woke up--sociologically, politically, and creatively--I could no longer take those parts and look in the mirror.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine

Dance is an art that imprints on the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
Shirley MacLaine
My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
Shirley MacLaine
In some ways, America has grown up to be a masterpiece of self-concern.
Shirley MacLaine
Usually I'm right, by the way - so never mind all the other.
Shirley MacLaine
He [Jimmy Carter] says his lust is in his heart. I hope it's a little lower.
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
Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
