More quotes by Shirley Temple
Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe.
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 have always told anyone who would listen that I was available for more public service.
Shirley Temple
If you hear someone scream, you shouldn't close the drapes. You should help. You've got to try.

Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble.

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
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
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

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
There are many of us who should be in a position to bring peace to the world.
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
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
Be brave and clear. Follow your heart and don't be overly influenced by outside factors. Be true to yourself.
Shirley Temple
By the time I was 4, I knew how to hit my mark.
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.
