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
The theater is magical and addictive.
Angela Lansbury
I don't think about going back to the theater.
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.

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.

Roles came to me. I was very, very lucky in that respect. Great directors, great writers, great producers - they saw something in me that they wanted for their picture or their play or whatever it was, whether it was Edward Albee or whether it was - or Peter Hall, directors. They would come to me, thank God. I was lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

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
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 made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
Angela Lansbury
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
Angela Lansbury
Actors are not made, they are born.
Angela Lansbury
I'm Angie to everybody, you've got to learn.
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
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
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
The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.
