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.
Angela Lansbury
I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
Angela Lansbury
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.
Angela Lansbury
I played the Piccadilly Theater with Gypsy and also the Old Vic, and I've done other shows in London, but not for 40 years.
Angela Lansbury
Better to be busy than to be busy worrying.
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 have heard Mr. Romney's speech's many times on television and the radio and I have even read his book No Apology: The Case for American Greatness and I must say that out of all the gentleman running for the presidency Mr. Romney is, in my opinion, the best one to fit the bill.
Angela Lansbury
The collaboration really begins once the rehearsal starts. This is when the actor takes his place, because he becomes the one who is going to bring the words of the author off the page.
Angela Lansbury
Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.
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
We all have levels of performance.
Angela Lansbury
The theater is magical and addictive.
Angela Lansbury
When I opened up in Gaslight, for instance, playing that narky maid, that all came about from my experience and my training up to that point, and so nothing was wasted.
Angela Lansbury
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
The thing I always say is that I wasn't going out reaching for roles, I wasn't fighting for roles - people came to me. They always came to me.
Angela Lansbury
Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.
Angela Lansbury
A sitcom. I hate that word.
Angela Lansbury
Everything I did actually helped to build the revenue, shall we say, of experience, which enabled me to play a variety of roles as I got older.
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
I'd been out of the movies for years, I had had a wonderful stage career, yes, in musicals and so on, but you don't really make any money in the theater.
