The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
Image
I would be a fool to deny my own abilities.
Julie Andrews
Image
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
Julie Andrews
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
Julie Andrews
Image
You never feel lonely if you're writing, because you're living with all these characters in your head.
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!

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.

The film industry is a cyclical business. Even musicals are coming back.
Julie Andrews

Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
Image
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
Image
Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.

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
Image
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.
Julie Andrews
Image
I am an optimistic lady.
Julie Andrews

When in doubt, stand still.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

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.

Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
