Quote

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've got a good right hook.

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.
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.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious! If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

As my mother said, I never sprang out of bed with a glad shout! My voice needed oiling and then it took off.
Julie Andrews
Image
I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.

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!

You always do that with movie musicals. You prerecord and then you lip-synch to playback.

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.

I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.
Julie Andrews
Image
I work out as little as I can for as much gain as I can. Yoga and a little bit of ballet -- only 30 or 40 minutes every other day. I keep supple for myself more than for roles.
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.

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!

Beginnings are always hard.

It is not enough to reach for the brass ring. You must also enjoy the merry go round.

I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness. But it doesn't bother me if other people don't spot the passion. I know it's there.

Broadway is a tough, tough arena for singing.
Julie Andrews
Image
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
Julie Andrews

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.

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.
