More quotes by 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
We all have levels of performance.
Angela Lansbury
It's better not to try to learn all the lines by rote. It's a very bad idea, in fact. You have to do it by using the process, and as I say, the process is to learn during rehearsals, and that's how you'll do it.
Angela Lansbury
The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.
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 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
I don't care whether it's a chance meeting or playing a role that you thought was totally wrong but you did it anyway. It will often turn out to be the thing that will lead you to the role which is sublime.
Angela Lansbury
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
Angela Lansbury
I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!
Angela Lansbury
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
A sitcom. I hate that word.
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
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 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've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
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
I started in London, as a kid. My mother knew I had sort of an inbred talent. She was an actress, so I inherited it from her. But I think I got a lot of it from my grandfather, who was a great politician.
Angela Lansbury
I'm the bionic woman. I have a very strong constitution, and I take excruciatingly good care of myself.

I'm Angie to everybody, you've got to learn.
