I've never minded being disciplined. I'd always rather have a quiet evening in than go to a wild party. Discipline for me has always been the foundation which leaves me free to fly.

More quotes by Julie Andrews
When adversity hits, go out and learn something.
Julie Andrews
Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.
Julie Andrews
Words are what make the song. I get a personal vision about what the lyrics are about.
Julie Andrews
When in doubt, stand still.
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
Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.
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
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews
On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.
Julie Andrews
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
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 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
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
Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.
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
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
Beginnings are always hard.
Julie Andrews
In the old days it was important, but not as important as it is today, to keep making success after success after success. It's terrifying today. You can maybe have one so-so movie but you've got to come back with another that's huge, if possible, and that must be very, very difficult for young talent.
Julie Andrews
All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.
Julie Andrews
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.
