Shirley MacLaine

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.

I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.

People think I'm nuts.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.

I knew I wanted to be an actress as soon as I popped out.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
