I think the world is in the mess it's in because we are spiritually ignorant.
Shirley MacLaine

I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.

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.

If I had a party to attend and didn't want to be there, I would play the part of someone who was having a lovely time.

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.

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.

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
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

Nothing should be permanent except struggle with the dark side within ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine

You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
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.

I believe in UFOs, I believe in extraterrestrials, and I believe in angels. And maybe they'll protect all of us.

Image
I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I watched my head rolling on the floor. It landed face up and a big tear came out of one eye.

I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.

The more sex becomes a non-issue in people's lives, the happier they are.
