Shirley Maclaine's quotes

Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.
It is useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
I can't define longevity. I don't know what it means.
[New York Times interview, Oct. 16, 2005] I regret turning down the lead role in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) which Ellen Burstyn deservedly won an Oscar for. I said to myself: "Who is this Martin Scorsese person?"
[on Oscars] I love to win those things. Love it. The only part about it I don't like is the red carpet and getting a dress and walking around in high heels and holding in my stomach. I hate that.
[on accepting her Oscar, 1983] I am going to cry because this show has been as long as my career! I have wondered for 26 years what this would feel like! Thank you for terminating the suspense.
I'm not unaware of how I'm perceived, I just don't care about it. Unless I really hurt someone's feelings. I care about that.
...I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
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.
My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
[after being offended by David Letterman on his show] Cher was right! You are an asshole!
On personal power: You are the architect of your personal experience.
[on Warren Beatty] The difference between us is sex. I can take it or leave it. But my kid brother ... well, now, he enjoys his reputation. Sex is the most important thing in his life. It's his hobby, you could say.
[on Mia Farrow] All turned in and vulnerable, a child with a highly energetic brain. From the neck up she's eighty.
On mothering: If we can genuinely honor our mother and father we are not only at peace with ourselves but we can give them birth to our future.
I'm very interested in how insane everybody is. That's why I write.
I don't know what the norm is. The latest evaluations on human sexuality say that we are one-third monogamous, one-third serially monogamous and one-third polygamous. I would say there should be some kind of form to fill out before you promise monogamy.
Once the soul of India gets into you, it sits on your shoulder all the time.
If I'm click-worthy, that's because I'm still walking upright.
[on Billy Wilder] I liked him, but I wouldn't put him at the head of the line for women's liberation.
[when asked if she's likely to remarry] I've never really been married.
