Ali MacGraw Quotations

My ex-husband happens to be one of the most gifted moviemakers. And what is so bizarre about working with someone like that? I guess it is bizarre to be good friends with your ex-husband.

I've always loved animals and I always thought that they were, if not better, then the absolute equal of any two legged creature that God ever created.

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.
