My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
Julie Andrews
Image
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
Julie Andrews
Image
As my mother said, I never sprang out of bed with a glad shout! My voice needed oiling and then it took off.
Julie Andrews
Image
I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness. But it doesn't bother me if other people don't spot the passion. I know it's there.

Beginnings are always hard.

Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.
Julie Andrews

Can I give them what they think they're going to get from me? That's always the big question.
Julie Andrews
Image
Don't you get a swollen head. There's always someone who could come and do what you do, maybe even better, so be grateful and work hard.

Broadway is a tough, tough arena for singing.
Julie Andrews
Image
I adored my birth father and constantly worried that I was being disloyal to him and his schoolteacher roots if I spent too much time performing and enjoying it.
Julie Andrews
Image
In the old days it was important, but not as important as it is today, to keep making success after success after success. It's terrifying today. You can maybe have one so-so movie but you've got to come back with another that's huge, if possible, and that must be very, very difficult for young talent.

Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.

Image
Quite often I'll turn on the television and something like Sound of Music will be on or Victor/Victoria and I might watch a moment or two. But I don't actually sit down and say I'm going to watch one of my movies.
Julie Andrews
Image
I don't want to be thought of as wholesome.

My first memoir, 'Home,' was about my childhood, early training and formative years in the Theater, i am so pleased that my good friends at the Hachette Book Group have encouraged me to share the next phase of my life, beginning with my arrival in Hollywood and the wonderful movies and television programs I was asked to be a part of.

I've learned a lot of things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me. Of course, it wasn`t really them judging me. It was me judging me. Once I got past that fear, it freed me up, not just when I was performing but in other parts of my life.

I work out as little as I can for as much gain as I can. Yoga and a little bit of ballet -- only 30 or 40 minutes every other day. I keep supple for myself more than for roles.

If somebody can act out one of the books as a play, if they can see a play, film, or television show that's related, that can be so stimulating for them. Anything that makes children engage and think - and love what the story is about - can only bring the most enormous rewards.

The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.

I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.
