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.

More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
Shirley MacLaine
All you really need in life is some fresh water, a good hat, and a really good pair of shoes.
Shirley MacLaine
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
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
Things are done according to money these days.
Shirley MacLaine
I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
God bless that potential that we all have for making anything possible if we think we deserve it. I deserve this.
Shirley MacLaine
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.
Shirley MacLaine
Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals are amplifying minerals. You have a crystal in a radio - it amplifies the sound waves. You have a crystal in a television set - it amplifies the light waves. When you hold crystals, they amplify thought waves.
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'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.
Shirley MacLaine
Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.
Shirley MacLaine
no one ever really leaves Hollywood. No one really leaves unless they are called away by God. Even then, the impulse would be to come back again and make a movie about the experience.
Shirley MacLaine
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
Shirley MacLaine
I don't feel competitive.
Shirley MacLaine
You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
Shirley MacLaine
When you walk 10 hours, 11 hours a day by yourself, you are doing a walking meditation.
Shirley MacLaine
If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
Shirley MacLaine
I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.
