Zitate Julie Andrews

„I know what I'm capable of — it's other people who have a problem with my image, not me.“

— Julie Andrews
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. News of the World (June 1986)

„As you become older, you become less judgmental and take offense less.“

— Julie Andrews
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. The New York Times (14 March 1982)

„I'm more contented and at peace with myself now than I was as a box-office queen.“

— Julie Andrews
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. Saturday Evening Post (February 1980)

„Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often appreciated in retrospect.“

— Julie Andrews
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?" This Week (18 September 1966)

„I've learned 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
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel {February 2000)

„My first profession was singing, and I'm always guilty that I don't practice enough... I love to exercise, to write, to be Mrs. Edwards, to be with my kids, and there's just not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to do. I just do what seems to have to be done, but I'm never as ready as I think I should be. I try to deal with priorities, but it tears me apart. Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside. Ultimately, I guess, it all balances out.“

— Julie Andrews
The New York Times (14 March 1982)

„I saw The Sound of Music again recently, and I loved it. Probably it's a more valuable film now than when it first came out, because some of the things it stood for have already disappeared. There's a kind of naive loveliness about it, and love goes by so fast … love and music and happiness and family, that's what it's all about. I believe in these things. It would be awful not to, wouldn't it?“

— Julie Andrews
Photoplay (September 1973)

„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.“

— Julie Andrews
Woman & Home (July 2000)

„Can I give them what they think they're going to get from me? That's always the big question.“

— Julie Andrews
Screen Stories (November 1970)

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

— Julie Andrews
This Week (18 September 1966)

„I think of part of myself as a very passionate person, but I don't think that comes across. I don't know where it comes from, that reserve or veneer of British niceness. But it doesn't bother me if other people don't spot the passion. I know it's there... As long as Blake knows.“

— Julie Andrews
The New York Times (14 March 1982)

„Does Mary Poppins have an orgasm? Does she go to the bathroom? I assure you, she does.“

— Julie Andrews
