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.

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.

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

I feel an enormous responsibility to bridge the gap between England and America, and be a sort of very quiet ambassador for my country to try to sort of do a hands across the water thing where they understand England and English people understand Americans. I adore America.

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.

Be a part of all that is decent and be an ambassador for the kind of world that you want to live in.

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.

The anateur works until they get something right. The professional works until they can't go wrong.

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.

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!

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

I think I'm one of the very lucky ladies.

The thrill of being in front of a camera remains exactly the same.

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

Image
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.

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

I've got a good right hook.

Quite often I'll turn on the television and something like Sound of Music will be on or Victor/Victoria and I might watch a moment or two. But I don't actually sit down and say I'm going to watch one of my movies.

And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.

If you're tearing around in a panic about something, then it puts everyone else in a panic as well.
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.
