Ive made so many movies playing a hooker that they dont pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser. – Shirley MacLaine
Remember, I come from such an excessively overdone, red-carpet place called Hollywood. So Im used to people blowing up their success in ways that are far above and beyond the truth. – Shirley MacLaine
I wasnt afraid of getting old, because I was never a great beauty. – Shirley MacLaine
I mean, no one asks beauty secrets of me, or What size do you wear? or Whos your couturier? They ask me about really deep things and I love that. – Shirley MacLaine
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. – A. Bartlett Giamatti, "The Green Fields of the Mind," Yale Alumni Magazi
