More quotes by 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
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
I'm not sure I'll come back to this planet. I may come back to another one.
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
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
...One individual is his or her own best teacher, and no other idol or false image should be worshiped or adored because the God we are all seeking lies inside oneself, not outside.

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
Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance.
Shirley MacLaine
Melt their weapons, melt their hearts, melt their anger with love.
Shirley MacLaine
I don't know why anybody would be in awe of me.
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
I'm an artist, therefore I think I am sensitive to human pain.
Shirley MacLaine
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Shirley MacLaine
Never trust a man when he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
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
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.
Shirley MacLaine
If I had a party to attend and didn't want to be there, I would play the part of someone who was having a lovely time.
Shirley MacLaine
