"Women being pitted each other another in Hollywood is an old tactic, but it’s not real at all." ― Shirley MacLaine Topic(s): Women More From Shirley MacLaine "Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself." "I never would have given up my work to stay home." "It’s a big deal for me to say I’m over politics." More In Women "While gossip among women is universally ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men, especially if it is about women, is called theory, or idea, or fact."― Andrea Dworkin "I’m quite sure that most writers would sustain real poetry if they could, but it takes devotion and talent."― Marguerite Young "I sort of try to write everything for me. I’m a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don’t remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I’m trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they’re accessible to everyone."― Norm MacDonald
