More quotes by Julie Andrews
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!
Julie Andrews
After all, children are children no matter their background.
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
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
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.
Julie Andrews
I suppose partially because of the success of the early movies and things like that, I began to realize, that children do look up to you in some way, and there is a responsibility for how you behave with them. I know that it's important to make them feel very valuable, not to talk down to them.
Julie Andrews
Mary Poppins is magical and fun.
Julie Andrews
Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
I think that the best way to explain that is that my mother gave me all the color and character and flare and liveliness, and my father gave me all the sanity and nature and all the things that helped me be a more rounded human being.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.
Julie Andrews
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
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
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
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
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
Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
Julie Andrews
Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.
Julie Andrews
Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside.
Julie Andrews
