More quotes by Shirley Temple
In the world of movie personalities the distance between popularity and politics is short.
Shirley Temple
Intentions often melt in the face of unexpected opportunity.
Shirley Temple
Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways - in science, in politics, in every bold intention.
Shirley Temple
Our whole way of life today is dedicated to the removal of risk. Cradle to grave we are supported, insulated, and isolated from the risks of life - and if we fail, our government stands ready with Bandaids of every size.
Shirley Temple
We would have to invent the U.N if we did not have it which is not an original thought.
Shirley Temple
Sunnybrook Farm is now a parking lot the petticoats are in the garbage can, where they belong in the modern world and I detest censorship.
Shirley Temple
I have always told anyone who would listen that I was available for more public service.
Shirley Temple
We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black.
Shirley Temple
Nothing crushes freedom as substantially as a tank.
Shirley Temple
My mother made it seem perfectly normal for thousands of people to be cheering me, as if there was nothing special going on. I thought all children must live as I did.
Shirley Temple
I wanted to be in the FBI. I also wanted to be a pie salesman. It was so intense that the studio got the prop department to make a little pie wagon and they filled it with tarts. I wheeled it around the set and sold them to the crew. I was about eight years old. I always sold out and I didn't have to pay for them. It was a great deal.
Shirley Temple
Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe.
Shirley Temple
Won't the new 'Suggested for Mature Audience' protect our youngsters from such films? I don't believe so. I know many forty-five-year old men with the mentalities of six-year-olds, and my feeling is that they should not see such pictures, either.
Shirley Temple
By the time I got to the Fox studio for my first major film, I knew how to hit a mark. I knew how to memorize lines. I knew how to pay attention.
Shirley Temple
If you hear someone scream, you shouldn't close the drapes. You should help. You've got to try.
Shirley Temple
Be brave and clear. Follow your heart and don't be overly influenced by outside factors. Be true to yourself.
Shirley Temple
Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle.
Shirley Temple
I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.
Shirley Temple
I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.
Shirley Temple
I've been so blessed. If someone asked me whom I would choose to be if I could come back in another life, I would have to say Shirley Temple Black. I cannot think of a more interesting life to ask for.
