Angela Lansbury
I don't think about going back to the theater.
Angela Lansbury
Psychologically, you learn the values that are inherent in the dialogue, and you learn to apply it to the way you read the lines. That's acting. You're not yourself saying those lines, you're somebody else.
Angela Lansbury
I never regretted what I turned down.
Angela Lansbury
