I have always told anyone who would listen that I was available for more public service.
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.

Delay and indecision are first weapons in the armory of moviemakers.
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
When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was. I've been getting younger ever since.

Most of the people in Ghana wouldn't know me as an actress. They'd know me for my work at the U.N.
Shirley Temple
There are many of us who should be in a position to bring peace to the world.

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.
