Shirley MacLean Beaty Quotes

• Once the soul of India gets into you, it sits on your shoulder all the time.
• [on Peter Sellers] Peter had a leaking aura and these past-life incarnations would come through and that’s why he could play these parts so well. He was positive he was having a sexual, a deep, erotic relationship with me, he actually thought he was! Dick Zanuck would walk into his dressing room and hear Peter doing sex talk over the phone and he would ask me, ‘What is it like having a relationship with Peter Sellers?’ and I said, ‘He’s out of his mind.’ He did the same thing with Sophia Loren when they made ‘The Millionairess.’
• I do miss the stage. There’s nothing like it, nothing. When I did my one-woman show and played the Palace and played the Gershwin and all that, I did – what? – eight shows or maybe more a week. Of course you can’t do anything else, and you can’t run quickly for a cab in the rain, and you can’t have a drunken love affair. You can’t do any of that. Because you’ve got to be perfectly healthy. And I guess I value enjoying my life a little bit more than the discipline these days.
• [on planning a scene in Downton Abbey (2010) which involved a conversation with Maggie Smith] I told her I was going to sing it, and first she said to me, ‘You know, dear, when you do that, I’m going to fall off my chair’. I said, OK. And then she said, ‘No, I think not. I think I’ll fall asleep’. I said, OK, that’s good too. And then she said, ‘No, I think I will cry’. I said, I don’t know what you’d do that for, but whatever. What she did instead was flirt back. I was so surprised.
• 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.
• I’m very interested in how insane everybody is. That’s why I write.
• 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.
• [on Mia Farrow] All turned in and vulnerable, a child with a highly energetic brain. From the neck up she’s eighty.
• [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 personal power: You are the architect of your personal experience.
• [after being offended by David Letterman on his show] Cher was right! You are an asshole!
• My first few weeks in New York were an initiation into the kingdom of guts.
• 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.
• …I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor.
• 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.
• [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.
• [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.
• [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?”.
• I can’t define longevity. I don’t know what it means.
• 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.
• [about her considering ballet as a profession) I was never good enough to be a soloist. Quatre ballet was about all I could handle. I didn’t have those beautifully constructed feet [high arches, high insteps]. My extension on my left leg was pretty good, but I didn’t point my foot with that grace that suggests true beauty.
• I think in my 40s, right around the time of The Turning Point (1977), that I began to address myself more to the future. See, I wasn’t afraid of getting old, because I never had the problems the other actresses my age had. I was never a great beauty. I was never a sex symbol. I did, however, have great legs, because I was a dancer. But I didn’t have that baggage. I wasn’t interested in my stature as a star. Ever. I was just interested in good parts.
• I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.
• It is useless to hold a person to anything he says while he’s in love, drunk, or running for office.
• Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.
