Dame Julie Elizabeth Andrews, DBE; bürgerlich Julie Andrews Edwards , ist eine britische Schauspielerin, Sängerin, Schriftstellerin und Synchronsprecherin. Internationale Bekanntheit erlangte sie in den 1960er Jahren als Musicaldarstellerin, vor allem durch ihre Hauptrollen in den Filmmusicals Mary Poppins und Meine Lieder – meine Träume. Daneben gab sie zahlreiche Konzerte auf der ganzen Welt, bis sie 1997 infolge einer misslungenen Operation ihre Gesangsstimme verlor. Danach widmete sich die Oscar-Preisträgerin vermehrt dem Schreiben; besonders erfolgreich war sie als Autorin von Kinderbüchern.

Context: 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?"

Context: Every time I do anything, I have to ask myself: Is it a good role, and is it right to do it? There may be sex or nudity or violence in the script, and then you have to say: Is it gratuitous just out to shock people? Or is it there because it has to be? If role demands it, and it isn't gratuitous, I'll do it. It's my job, after all. I'm an actress. I know what I'm capable of — it's other people who have a problem with my image, not me. I hope I can do all sorts of things, not just one type who's all sweetness and light. Unfortunately, people forget it's a role and confuse it with you.

Context: 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.

Context: I'm more contented and at peace with myself now than I was as a box-office queen. I'm less uptight. I've even reached a stage where it doesn't shatter me if somebody prints something bad about me.
