Julie Andrews's quotes

I don't want to be thought of as wholesome.
[1982] Does Mary Poppins have an orgasm? Does she go to the bathroom? I assure you, she does.
Singing has never been particularly easy for me.
Films are much more my level. On stage I never feel quite enough.
[upon answering whether Mary Poppins and Bert ever got it together]: I hope so. She wouldn't admit it, but I do hope so.
As my mother said, I never sprang out of bed with a glad shout! My voice needed oiling and then it took off.
A lot of my life happened in great, wonderful bursts of good fortune, and then I would race to be worthy of it.
[upon receiving the BAFTA award on October 7, 1989] I am first and always English, and I carry my country in my heart wherever I go. I've tried to honour her, and I have the funny feeling that perhaps tonight, in some way, I've managed to do just that.
[asked where she kept her Oscar] He stayed in the attic a long time. I just didn't feel worthy . . . When I got to know more about film, I felt safe trotting him out.
Bette Davis was always marvelous.
As soon as you have one, all those dormant maternal instincts start popping out all over you, like German measles.
All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time.
Blake [husband Blake Edwards] and I have this wonderful arrangement that while one is working hard, the other tries to be at home as much as possible and vice versa.
All kinds of things have been printed, including much gossip and rumour and finally I feel ready to have my say. I want to be as honest as I can.
Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.
[on Max von Sydow] He was the unqualified front runner -- the most generous man I've ever met. And he had such a lovely light sense of humor. I consider it a privilege to have worked with him.
[1973]I suppose I have my [off] moments. I don't want to knock my sweet image. Why should I? It has been very good for me. I love my work and to bring my personal problems on set would be stupid, to say the least.
