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.

Shirley Temple
One famous movie executive who shall remain nameless, exposed himself to me in his office. 'Mr X,' I said, 'I thought you were a producer not an exhibitor'.
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
By the time I was 4, I knew how to hit my mark.
Shirley Temple
I don’t like to do negatives. There are always pluses to things.
Shirley Temple
If you hear someone scream, you shouldn't close the drapes. You should help. You've got to try.
