Because of the Thames I have always loved inland waterways - water in general, water sounds - there's music in water. Brooks babbling, fountains splashing. Weirs, waterfalls; tumbling, gushing.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I love to prune my roses. That's the one thing I really feel I do pretty well. Other things I usually, because I travel so much, leave to my gardeners who know what I love. But I do love to prune them, because you forget everything else. It's like if you're a painter, you can forget everything else while you're doing it.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
When I've least expected it, an enormous opportunity or stroke of luck has crossed right under my nose. So I tell everybody, if you're passionate about what you do and you love it, do it. But do your homework. Because you'll never know when the opportunity is going to happen.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I adored my birth father and constantly worried that I was being disloyal to him and his schoolteacher roots if I spent too much time performing and enjoying it.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
If you've been fortunate enough to do a film that appeals to the entire family, that's the audience that's probably going to come back to you in something else.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I was a child prodigy who had a freak voice of something like four octaves.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I'd say just go with the flow. And I take my hat off to any mother out there who works full-time and raises a family as well. It's hard work.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I justified working so hard by knowing that I was helping to maintain the roof over our heads.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I come from a long line of below-stairs maids and gardeners. Good ol' peasant stock. My mother and her sister made a quantum leap out of that life. Then I made another quantum leap.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I am thrilled to be dame. It's one of those - the fact that you have been honored by your country is what it's all about, and it just feels good right there.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you can't bat a thousand all the time.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I turned down 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brody' with Maggie Smith. I think she got the Academy Award.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I've made my pact with the Lord for the next lifetime. I would love to be a first-class musician. A super one.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I've always admired gardens. My father was a great nature lover and would always take me for walks. We lived not too far away from huge rhododendron estates and azalea estates, and when they're in bloom in England, they're just riotous.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I am very proud to be British. I'm very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden, which I love. Of course, I love to read, and family is really what it's all about.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I had toured around England endlessly throughout my teens, but when I came to the U.S. to perform on Broadway, that was a huge step.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I do wish somewhere there was a film of our stage production of 'My Fair Lady.'
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I think birth and motherhood are not things that you're trained to do. You might have a good example in your own mum, but nobody teaches you how to be a really great mum.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.'
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I'm never sure one is exactly ready. You jump in, with both feet, into a very big fish pond.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
Did you ever notice the color of Mary Poppins' petticoats? They were kind of orange and apricot and red. I think she had a secret life going on there.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I love that President and Mrs. Obama are embracing the arts. I am so delighted.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I had a teacher who stressed for me the importance of diction in terms of... I want to be very careful about how I say this... in terms of supporting one's voice when one is singing. In other words, if you hold on to your words, your voice will pull through for you when you're singing. So be true to your vowels.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
You just don't know in life. Life knocks you about and pushes you over boundaries. But be ready. Do your homework; that's all I can say.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I think every young girl at some point in her early life wonders what it's like to be a princess. They like the idea of dressing up and the fun of it.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
I love my garden. I love my privacy. I'm very fierce about it. I try not to let too many people into my home. That's my private place.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
Whenever I think of my birthplace, Walton-on-Thames, my reference first and foremost is the river. I love the smell of the river; love its history, its gentleness. I was aware of its presence from my earliest years. Its majesty centered me, calmed me, was a solace to a certain extent.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
The arts bridge cultures; they're good for the economy, and they're good for fostering empathy and decency.
Quote by -Julie Andrews
All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.
