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.

More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
There are stars who are proficiently paranoid enough to hide what they really think. I can't.
Shirley MacLaine
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.
Shirley MacLaine
I look like a real bag lady when I go to Starbucks with my dog and get my chai.
Shirley MacLaine
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
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine
He [Jimmy Carter] says his lust is in his heart. I hope it's a little lower.
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
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals amplify the consciousness.
Shirley MacLaine
I love the idea that I'm the oldest one in the room because I can get away with anything!
Shirley MacLaine
It's not going to be about money. It's going to be about who am I, what have I done and where am I going.
Shirley MacLaine
We've had so many lifetimes of different cultures and different religions and different points of view and different wars and different loves and different children.
Shirley MacLaine
You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving. In an hour, you realize how far you've got to go and who is the real turkey.
Shirley MacLaine
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
I believe in UFOs, I believe in extraterrestrials, and I believe in angels. And maybe they'll protect all of us.
Shirley MacLaine
The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
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
Of course, we're all a mass of contradictions.
Shirley MacLaine
Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
Shirley MacLaine
He's a real gentleman. I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.
