I do ask myself sometimes, what am I doing writing about animals that talk like we do? But I guess it's okay if it brings across a point. — Julie Andrews

My life has been so fortunate. I have had most extraordinary good fortune in my life. I sort of put it into three categories, the three major stepping stones.

Each one of those happened under the most extraordinary circumstances. — Julie Andrews

In the old days it was important, but not as important as it is today, to keep making success after success after success. It's terrifying today.

In a way I do hate the process of writing. It's like learning a role where you never think you're going to be able to conquer it when you start and it just takes enough focus and narrowing and getting enthusiastic and not losing it and so on.
