More quotes by Angela Lansbury
I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.
Angela Lansbury
I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.
Angela Lansbury
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.
Angela Lansbury
Better to be busy than to be busy worrying.
Angela Lansbury
We all have levels of performance.
Angela Lansbury
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.

I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.

Unfortunately, because the theater is always a poor relation when it comes to making the nut, it's not easy to get the audience in to see a play, unless you have a name that is recognizable, that the audience wants to see and is prepared to pay the $125 to see.
Angela Lansbury
I haven't been back to London for 40 years to do a play, so to play Madame Arcati there, she would be tickled to death knowing that that was what I was doing. I hope she would. She was a wonderfully unique and very special, very darling woman.
Angela Lansbury
I never regretted what I turned down.

My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
Angela Lansbury
My mother was one of the most beautiful women, I have to say, of her generation. She was absolutely lovely. She was a very, extremely sensitive, Irish actress. She came from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and she came to London, and she was sort of discovered by several people.
Angela Lansbury
You learn a great deal that you can feed into your craft which gives you the experience that you actually need later on, when you start to get the really great roles. You've played that part to a certain degree in that picture, and you played that one in that, and so on. You add it all up, and you have that experience.
Angela Lansbury
I'm Angie to everybody, you've got to learn.
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
My daughter used to sit and watch Murder, She Wrote. I tried to watch with her, but I fell asleep.
Angela Lansbury
As a kid, I just was a contract player at MGM Studios. They put me into goodness knows how many different roles.Some of them were wonderful and some of them were very just distasteful and awful because I was playing out of my age range and I was thoroughly uncomfortable, let's put it that way. So it took me many years to find my acting feet.
