I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.

More quotes by Julie Andrews
I have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.
Julie Andrews
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
Julie Andrews
I've never minded being disciplined. I'd always rather have a quiet evening in than go to a wild party. Discipline for me has always been the foundation which leaves me free to fly.
Julie Andrews
Dear Lady Gaga , thank you for the wonderful tribute. Oh my god, it really warmed my heart!
Julie Andrews
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
The film industry is a cyclical business. Even musicals are coming back.
Julie Andrews
Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often appreciated in retrospect. It's only later that you place it in perspective. Years from now, I'll look back and say, ‘God, wasn't it wonderful.’
Julie Andrews
Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
Julie Andrews
I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.
Julie Andrews
After all, children are children no matter their background.
Julie Andrews
It is not enough to reach for the brass ring. You must also enjoy the merry go round.
Julie Andrews
I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
I'm not singing anymore that is why I am so pleased to be writing. My daughter said, You just found a different way of using your voice.
Julie Andrews
For the last time, you cannot wear that cropped fleece vest
Julie Andrews
I think family matters to me enormously. In fact, family is the first priority. If my family is good, I can do anything. If they're not, I'm a basket case.
