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

Words are what make the song. I get a personal vision about what the lyrics are about.
Julie Andrews

The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
Image
These days, people like me who are in the arts are perceived as celebrity writers. That really makes me angry because I expend a great deal of effort and spend an enormous amount of time on my books. And I've been writing now for 35 years.
Julie Andrews
Image
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

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.

My husband knows me better than anyone.

I do think, where would kids be if it weren't for you and for the good pediatricians, and for the good parents? I passionately believe in sitting a child on your lap and tracing the lines of the book with your finger, and they can read before they know they can, if you bother enough. I did it with my kids, and they're doing it with their kids now.

If you're lucky enough to be able to have therapy -- because I know it's very privileged -- it gets rid of so much garbage and enables you to focus on what's important. When I first went into analysis, my mother was absolutely horrified. She thought I'd be a loony!
Julie Andrews

I've got a good right hook.
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 miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.
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 have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.

I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.

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.

Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.

The film industry is a cyclical business. Even musicals are coming back.
