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
Sometimes people who have their lives played out in public don't feel they have the privacy to continually journey within. I did, and that's why I have longevity.

Hollywood always had a streak of the totalitarian in just about everything it did.

We were supposed to be the children mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.

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
The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
Shirley MacLaine
I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.
