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.

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.

I adored my birth father and constantly worried that I was being disloyal to him and his schoolteacher roots if I spent too much time performing and enjoying it.

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

Have you noticed how nobody ever looks up? Nobody looks at chimneys, or trees against the sky, or the tops of buildings. Everybody just looks down at the pavement or their shoes. The whole world could pass them by and most people wouldn't notice.

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?
