Quote

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.

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.

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.

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.

The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews

I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.

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.

And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews

As my mother said, I never sprang out of bed with a glad shout! My voice needed oiling and then it took off.

Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
