Quote

For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.

Hopefully, I brought people a certain joy. That will be a wonderful legacy.
Julie Andrews

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?
Julie Andrews

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.

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.

For the last time, you cannot wear that cropped fleece vest

After all, children are children no matter their background.
Julie Andrews
Image
If you can instill a love of reading in your children, they will be ahead of the curve at school and in their lives in general. Their imaginations will be stimulated. I thank heavens for the father that gave me that to begin with.

I've been blessed to be at the right place at the right time.

Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.

When adversity hits, go out and learn something.

I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.
Julie Andrews
Image
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.

Image
I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.

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!

Words are what make the song. I get a personal vision about what the lyrics are about.
Julie Andrews
Image
The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.
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
Use your knowledge, and your heart, to stand up for those who can't stand, speak for those who can't speak, be a beacon of light for those whose lives have become dark.
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
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.
