Quote

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.

Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.

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.

I think I'm one of the very lucky ladies.
Julie Andrews
Image
As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less. But marriage is hard work the illusion that you get married and live happily ever after is absolute rubbish.
Julie Andrews
Image
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'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.

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.

Beginnings are always hard.

I would be a fool to deny my own abilities.

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!

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.

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

My husband knows me better than anyone.
Julie Andrews

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
I miss singing very, very much, but the best thing is I have never been busier.
Julie Andrews

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.

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
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.

I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.

Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.
