Shirley Maclaine Said, You're So

We Treat Sex So Casually And Use It For Everything But What It Is-which Is Ultimately Making Another Human Being With Thoughts And Feelings And Rights

I've Learned You Can Make A Mistake And The Whole World Doesn't End. I Had To Learn To Allow Myself To Make A Mistake Without Becoming Defensive And Unforgiving.

I Actually Made An Effort To Reject Acting, To Shove It Out Of My Body, Because I Didn't Want My Kids To Have An Actress As A Mother-to Have, Like, A Silly Person.

[detractors] Are Just Wrong, And That's Okay. They Just Don't See It Yet. That's What I Would Tell Myself To Keep Those Moments Of Doubt, Only Moments.

I Always Felt Like I Could Be Funny, But There Was A Part Of Me That Always Judged Actors So Harshly... I Thought All Actors Were Dumb-that They Must Have Serious Emotional Problems. Even If They Don't, That's The Perception I Had Of Them. I Didn't Want Anyone To See Me That Way.
