More quotes by Julie Andrews
As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less. But marriage is hard work the illusion that you get married and live happily ever after is absolute rubbish.
Julie Andrews
So many things that you can ask children hopefully pique their interest and they can design and think for themselves. Having children draw and illustrate what they saw in their minds' eyes during the story is a tremendous teaching aid.
Julie Andrews
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?
Julie Andrews
Miracles are happening every day. I do think that's true. If you can take the time to look. It took me a while to learn that, though some children know it instinctively and they do have wonder when they are kids. But the trouble is, as we grow older, we lose it.
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
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.
Julie Andrews
You never feel lonely if you're writing, because you're living with all these characters in your head.
Julie Andrews
You know, making an animated movie is such a lonesome thing. You mostly don't see your fellow actors or anything. You go into your booth, you record all your dialogue. It's very much an issue of trust. You leave it all up to the director.
Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews
Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.
Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews
Dear Lady Gaga , thank you for the wonderful tribute. Oh my god, it really warmed my heart!
Julie Andrews
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.
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
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.
Julie Andrews
The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
Julie Andrews
I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.

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
