When adversity hits, go out and learn something.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.
Julie Andrews
Image
I've got a good right hook.
Julie Andrews

All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.

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.

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.

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.

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

I don't want to be thought of as wholesome.

The film industry is a cyclical business. Even musicals are coming back.
Julie Andrews
Image
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
Image
Hopefully, I brought people a certain joy. That will be a wonderful legacy.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

Where the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.

My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
Julie Andrews
Image
I've learned a lot of things about myself through singing. I used to have a certain dislike of the audience, not as individual people, but as a giant body who was judging me. Of course, it wasn`t really them judging me. It was me judging me. Once I got past that fear, it freed me up, not just when I was performing but in other parts of my life.

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.

Public libraries are our great teachers and storytellers, and are a vital adjunct to our schools. In this day of standardized and homogenized education, a library offers individual and personalized learning opportunities second to none.

These days, people like me who are in the arts are perceived as celebrity writers. That really makes me angry because I expend a great deal of effort and spend an enormous amount of time on my books. And I've been writing now for 35 years.
