And I think as long as a song has beautiful lyrics, I'm so happy.

I'm thrilled in a way because musicals should be preserved. It's mostly unique to America, and they give us so much joy.

I would be a fool to deny my own abilities.

Steadiness is coming up short 19 times and succeeding the twentieth.

For me, singing was always about the lyrics. I'm hopeless at singing songs that don't have a core.

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.

I feel an enormous responsibility to bridge the gap between England and America, and be a sort of very quiet ambassador for my country to try to sort of do a "hands across the water" thing where they understand England and English people understand Americans. I adore America.
