I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.

I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.

Image
Quite often I'll turn on the television and something like Sound of Music will be on or Victor/Victoria and I might watch a moment or two. But I don't actually sit down and say I'm going to watch one of my movies.

My husband knows me better than anyone.

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.

Mary Poppins is magical and fun.

I think it's the essence of any film and any stage production - any work where you do work with other people - of course collaboration is hugely important. One does for awhile become family.

I can't believe 50 years have gone by since that film was released. I blinked and suddenly here I am. We all really felt blessed and as for me how lucky can a girl get. Great music does more than enhance a film, it cements our memories in the film going experience.

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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If you can instill a love of reading in your children, they will be ahead of the curve at school and in their lives in general. Their imaginations will be stimulated. I thank heavens for the father that gave me that to begin with.

Broadway is a tough, tough arena for singing.
Julie Andrews
Image
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
Image
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.

Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.

Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.

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.

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.

If you're tearing around in a panic about something, then it puts everyone else in a panic as well.
