More quotes by Julie Andrews
When adversity hits, go out and learn something.
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
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
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
Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.
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
Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.
Julie Andrews
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
The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.
Julie Andrews
I am an optimistic lady.
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
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
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 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
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
I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.
Julie Andrews
Mary Poppins is magical and fun.
Julie Andrews
For the last time, you cannot wear that cropped fleece vest
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
Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.
