More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
Remember what people used to say about meditation? Now everyone is doing it.
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
On the stage you try to act real. On the screen you try to be real.
Shirley MacLaine
I think people will become more and more aware that we are all more than we seem.
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
In terms of my life, I guess I want to share whatever I've learned really, which is basically one thing: know yourself, look for yourself, know what to look for, cherish it, be honest, be authentic, even if it hurts your feelings. That's not bad.
Shirley MacLaine
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.

Shirley MacLaine
One can become as intellectually arrogant about spirituality as about empirical science.
Shirley MacLaine
You can't take a crash course in serenity.
Shirley MacLaine
You let the energy go wherever it wants. I have such a rich spiritual life. Most people take drugs to experience that.
Shirley MacLaine
I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
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
In some ways, America has grown up to be a masterpiece of self-concern.
Shirley MacLaine
You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.
Shirley MacLaine
Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.
Shirley MacLaine
When you walk 10 hours, 11 hours a day by yourself, you are doing a walking meditation.
Shirley MacLaine
