I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.

I loved the idea of doing a love story with people over the age of 60 and a film that will hopefully give so many of the audience a chance to see themselves on the screen.

Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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
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.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

I look like a real bag lady when I go to Starbucks with my dog and get my chai.

Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.

Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

Melt their weapons, melt their hearts, melt their anger with love.

Dance is an art that imprints on the soul. It is with you every moment, it expresses itself in everything you do.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I think people will become more and more aware that we are all more than we seem.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
Nothing should be permanent except struggle with the dark side within ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
On the stage you try to act real. On the screen you try to be real.

I can't give up my own identity.

Sex is hardly ever just about sex.

You let the energy go wherever it wants. I have such a rich spiritual life. Most people take drugs to experience that.

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.

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.
