More quotes by 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
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
[Campaign sign when running for Congress in 1967:] Vote for me or I will hold my breath until I turn blue.

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
Intentions often melt in the face of unexpected opportunity.
Shirley Temple
Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle.
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
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
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.
