More quotes by 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

Shirley Temple
Many people consider me an old friend.
Shirley Temple
If you hear someone scream, you shouldn't close the drapes. You should help. You've got to try.
Shirley Temple
Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle.
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
In the world of movie personalities the distance between popularity and politics is short.
Shirley Temple
Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe.
Shirley Temple
I guess I was an early method actress. I would go to a quiet part of the sound stage with my mother. I wouldn't think of anything sad, I would just make my mind a blank. In a minute I could cry.
