More quotes by Angela Lansbury
My memory about names and places now is dreadful. But lines, I can remember.
Angela Lansbury
... because lifestyles are changing constantly the rules of etiquette are changing too -- a little slower than lifestyles perhaps, but still changing.
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
You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.
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 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
The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.
Angela Lansbury
The collaboration really begins once the rehearsal starts. This is when the actor takes his place, because he becomes the one who is going to bring the words of the author off the page.
Angela Lansbury
When I opened up in Gaslight, for instance, playing that narky maid, that all came about from my experience and my training up to that point, and so nothing was wasted.
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
I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
Angela Lansbury
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.
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
I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
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
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
Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.
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
You learn a great deal that you can feed into your craft which gives you the experience that you actually need later on, when you start to get the really great roles. You've played that part to a certain degree in that picture, and you played that one in that, and so on. You add it all up, and you have that experience.
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
