When I did 'The Sound of Music' and 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Americanization of Emily,' all three were in the can and had not yet been released. So I was driving around having a fine time learning about how to make movies and enjoying myself enormously, and then they were released, and it was quite an assault, in a way. -Julie Andrews Movies
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. -Julie Andrews Teacher
Actually, I had a lot of good people with me - my mother's sister did a lot of taking care of me, and I suppose I got more attention than my stepbrothers because at least I got to travel with my parents. -Julie Andrews Travel
I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect. -Julie Andrews Music
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. -Julie Andrews Family
Behaving like a princess is work. It's not just about looking beautiful or wearing a crown. It's more about how you are inside. -Julie Andrews Work

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. -Julie Andrews Travel

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. -Julie Andrews Life

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. -Julie Andrews History
On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter. -Julie Andrews Women
I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there's a point where one says, that's for family, that's for me. -Julie Andrews Family
Almost every morning when I go to the studio to work, I discover a fresh rose in the bud vase on my dressing table... one living and vital thing in a dusty arena of powder and tissue and matches and greasepaint. -Julie Andrews Morning
