Shirley MacLaine
I think in the end we all know that our best friend is ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. That's the journey.
Shirley MacLaine
Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals amplify the consciousness.
Shirley MacLaine
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.
Shirley MacLaine
The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine

Shirley MacLaine
I think the hill one has to trudge in order to understand a man's baggage is more of a trek than I'd like to take right now.
Shirley MacLaine
When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.
Shirley MacLaine
I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.
Shirley MacLaine
You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
Shirley MacLaine
You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving. In an hour, you realize how far you've got to go and who is the real turkey.
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
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
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
Things are done according to money these days.
