Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
Julie Andrews
Image
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
Julie Andrews
Image
I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.
Julie Andrews
Image
When adversity hits, go out and learn something.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.

Image
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.

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!

I have always wished I could learn to be a potter. I love collecting ceramics it would be so fulfilling to create something lovely.
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.

The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
Image
For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.
Julie Andrews
Image
Words are what make the song. I get a personal vision about what the lyrics are about.
Julie Andrews
Image
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.
Julie Andrews
Image
You always do that with movie musicals. You prerecord and then you lip-synch to playback.
Julie Andrews
Image
I've never minded being disciplined. I'd always rather have a quiet evening in than go to a wild party. Discipline for me has always been the foundation which leaves me free to fly.

After all, children are children no matter their background.
Julie Andrews
Image
Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.
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 am an optimistic lady.

Mary Poppins is magical and fun.
