More quotes by Angela Lansbury
Better to be busy than to be busy worrying.
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 purpose of etiquette is to provide an easy set of rules which we can follow when we are in a hurry and want to make sure that we do not give offense to anybody.
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
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.
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'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
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
My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
Angela Lansbury
A sitcom. I hate that word.
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
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
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
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'm the bionic woman. I have a very strong constitution, and I take excruciatingly good care of myself.
Angela Lansbury
The older I get, the more I realize how much I have missed because I was so busy entertaining that audience and so busy pursuing a career.
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
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
I can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.
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.
