Image
I think male actors get confused by their own vanity.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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
Image
I think in the end we all know that our best friend is ourselves. We are born alone and we die alone. That's the journey.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

The more sex becomes a non-issue in people's lives, the happier they are.

People think I'm nuts.

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.

The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesn't go out of her apartment because she's afraid she's going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer.

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.

Image
Prayer is speaking to God. Meditation is listening to God. Trust tranquility.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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
Image
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I don't do like diva trips and stuff.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a problem.

Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.
Shirley MacLaine
Image
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.

Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.

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.
