More quotes by Angela Lansbury
Louis B. Mayer and I got along like a house afire. He never chased me around his desk or tried anything with me. Of course, he never gave me any good parts, either.

You learn the values that are inherent in the scene that the writer has written. You learn about who you as a character are in relation to those others who are working with you within that scene.

I very seldom said no, and I was aided and abetted by my husband, who realized that the one thing I could do was to be a very good actress, by his note.

I usually arrive at the first rehearsal with a vague memory of most of it. But the real work happens in rehearsal, oddly enough, because what happens is that you match the words to the movement, and once you know where you're moving, then the words that accompany that movement become not locked into your mind and your brain and your whole body.

I just went along for the ride. It was a God-given gift. It is. So you can't say well, you wasted your life because you spent all of it acting, but I think gosh, I've never been to China, I've never been to Japan. I've never been to Yellowstone Park.

Angela Lansbury
Actually the years when I was playing totally un - well, they were just roles that just went by the board, you wouldn't want to know. But anyway, I'm glad I had that chance to build my craft.
Angela Lansbury
I honestly feel that Murder, She Wrote stands alone, as many of the other great shows of the past 35, 40 years do. It stands alone, and it's still on. It's still all over the world, Murder, She Wrote, Jessica Fletcher and Murder, She Wrote.
Angela Lansbury
I can't say that I deserve longlife I don't. I've just been around long enough. They say, My God, she's still here.
Angela Lansbury
I'm Angie to everybody, you've got to learn.

Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.
Angela Lansbury
Im in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. Its always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, theyre going to carry me off a stage.
Angela Lansbury
All I knew how to do was to act. That's the only thing I had in my favor. That was the thing that propelled me forward.
Angela Lansbury
I really wanted to go back to the theater, the live theater. That was the thing I had never had a chance to do, even though I had trained to be a stage actress.
Angela Lansbury
The theater is magical and addictive.
Angela Lansbury
I'm not going to be dancing with the stars at this stage in my life. But I want to dance and bop around, and I did, and I can.
Angela Lansbury
Psychologically, you learn the values that are inherent in the dialogue, and you learn to apply it to the way you read the lines. That's acting. You're not yourself saying those lines, you're somebody else.
Angela Lansbury
I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.
Angela Lansbury
