More quotes by Julie Andrews
I think I'm one of the very lucky ladies.
Julie Andrews
I don't think I have the image that say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.
Julie Andrews
The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.
Julie Andrews
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
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
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
Beginnings are always hard.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
Julie Andrews
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.
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.
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!
Julie Andrews
The music and lyrics of Rodgers & Hammerstein connect seamlessly. Singing those beautiful songs was a joyous experience for me, and one that I will never forget.
Julie Andrews
