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.’

More quotes by Julie Andrews
I adored my birth father and constantly worried that I was being disloyal to him and his schoolteacher roots if I spent too much time performing and enjoying it.
Julie Andrews
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
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
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
Julie Andrews
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
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
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.
Julie Andrews
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
When in doubt, stand still.
Julie Andrews
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
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
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
I've got a good right hook.
Julie Andrews
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
Julie Andrews
Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
Be a part of all that is decent and be an ambassador for the kind of world that you want to live in.
Julie Andrews
For the last time, you cannot wear that cropped fleece vest
Julie Andrews
I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.
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
Public libraries are our great teachers and storytellers, and are a vital adjunct to our schools. In this day of standardized and homogenized education, a library offers individual and personalized learning opportunities second to none.
