More quotes by Shirley Temple

Shirley Temple
We would have to invent the U.N if we did not have it which is not an original thought.
Shirley Temple
Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble.
Shirley Temple
Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe.
Shirley Temple
In the world of movie personalities the distance between popularity and politics is short.
Shirley Temple
I liked work shoes and big, working-class hands. The stars would come and go, but the crew on my movies was my extended family.
Shirley Temple
When you're a performer, you have to please a large audience. And when you're in politics, you have to please a large audience, too.
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.
Shirley Temple
If you hear someone scream, you shouldn't close the drapes. You should help. You've got to try.

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.
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
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
Be brave and clear. Follow your heart and don't be overly influenced by outside factors. Be true to yourself.
Shirley Temple
I don’t like to do negatives. There are always pluses to things.
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
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
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
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
Many people consider me an old friend.
