Use your knowledge, and your heart, to stand up for those who can't stand, speak for those who can't speak, be a beacon of light for those whose lives have become dark.

The music and lyrics of Rodgers & Hammerstein connect seamlessly. Singing those beautiful songs was a joyous experience for me, and one that I will never forget.
Julie Andrews
Image
I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.
Julie Andrews
Image
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews
Image
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
Image
I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

When I start to write, I see my stories as a kind of movie. For instance, I ask myself, What kind of opening do I want for this book?

If you can instill a love of reading in your children, they will be ahead of the curve at school and in their lives in general. Their imaginations will be stimulated. I thank heavens for the father that gave me that to begin with.

I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.

Image
Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.
Julie Andrews
Image
Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.

It's lovely that the Hollywood stars are crossing over to Broadway.... There used to be such a dividing line in the country between Hollywood and the theatre and that's just melting away. It's just wonderful right now!

Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
Image
Can I give them what they think they're going to get from me? That's always the big question.
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.

All I care about really is writing something worthwhile for children, something that will engage them in some way and stimulates in them a sense of wonder.
