Shirley MacLaine
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
Shirley MacLaine
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.
Shirley MacLaine
I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
I watched my head rolling on the floor. It landed face up and a big tear came out of one eye.
Shirley MacLaine
I have a great life, to tell you the truth.
Shirley MacLaine
My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
Shirley MacLaine
I think we have to do something about the environment and how we are polluting the planet.
