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.

I never regretted what I turned down.
Angela Lansbury
Actors are not made, they are born.

As a kid, I just was a contract player at MGM Studios. They put me into goodness knows how many different roles.Some of them were wonderful and some of them were very just distasteful and awful because I was playing out of my age range and I was thoroughly uncomfortable, let's put it that way. So it took me many years to find my acting feet.

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 made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.

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.

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.

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

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
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
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
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
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
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'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
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.
