More quotes by Angela Lansbury
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.
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
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
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
I'm Angie to everybody, you've got to learn.
Angela Lansbury
You learn the values that are inherent in the scene that the writer has written. You learn about who you as a character are in relation to those others who are working with you within that scene.
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
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
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
Im in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. Its always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, theyre going to carry me off a stage.
Angela Lansbury
I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.
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 can't say that I pursued a career. I really didn't, it just sort of happened.
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
I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.
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 very seldom said no, and I was aided and abetted by my husband, who realized that the one thing I could do was to be a very good actress, by his note.
Angela Lansbury
I'm the bionic woman. I have a very strong constitution, and I take excruciatingly good care of myself.
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.
