You know, I think I had my first past life recall when I was 7.
Shirley MacLaine
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.

Shirley MacLaine
The loss of magic is the denial of unlimited possibility.
Shirley MacLaine
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Shirley MacLaine
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Shirley MacLaine
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Shirley MacLaine
Nothing should be permanent except struggle with the dark side within ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
Usually I'm right, by the way - so never mind all the other.
Shirley MacLaine
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
You let the energy go wherever it wants. I have such a rich spiritual life. Most people take drugs to experience that.
