Shirley MacLaine

You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving. In an hour, you realize how far you've got to go and who is the real turkey.

Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.

I don't need anyone to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we will ever have is the one with ourselves.

I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.

Women love working together. That's my experience anyway.

If anything interferes with my inner peace, I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a real problem.

I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further.

It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.

If I could know me I could know the universe.

I'm in love with the potential of miracles. For me the safest place is out on a limb.

The pain of leaving those you grow to love is only the prelude to understanding yourself and others.

If I had a party to attend and didn't want to be there I would play the part of someone who was having a lovely time.

My gift is that I'm not beautiful. My career was never about looks. It's about health and being in good shape.

I could be whatever I wanted to be if I trusted that music that song that vibration of God that was inside of me.

Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.

Fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.

The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
