More quotes by Angela Lansbury
Believe me, it jabs you. When you're on the side of buses and New York loves you, you love to go out there every night. It's like a race. Curtain opens, out you go, and New York is yours.

My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
Angela Lansbury
I don't think about going back to the theater.
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.

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 consider that the greatest gift to me, is the reaction that I get from my work. That is a given which I never, ever take for granted. But to be given that by audiences, individuals, on the street, in the theater, is an extraordinary feeling.
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 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
It was an extraordinary experience to have backup singers like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I have never experienced anything quite like it before and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
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
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
