More quotes by 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
I would be a fool to deny my own abilities.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
Feed the body food and drink, it will survive today. Feed the soul art and music, it will live forever.
Julie Andrews
When in doubt, stand still.
Julie Andrews
I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.
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
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 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
If you're tearing around in a panic about something, then it puts everyone else in a panic as well.
Julie Andrews
Leave every place you go, everything you touch, a little better for your having been there.
Julie Andrews
Success is failing nineteen times and soaring the twentieth.
Julie Andrews
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.
Julie Andrews
I don't want to be thought of as wholesome.
Julie Andrews
And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.
Julie Andrews
I think family matters to me enormously. In fact, family is the first priority. If my family is good, I can do anything. If they're not, I'm a basket case.
Julie Andrews
My husband knows me better than anyone.
Julie Andrews
The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.
Julie Andrews
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
