I Am An Optimistic Lady.

I'm Thrilled In A Way Because Musicals Should Be Preserved. It's Mostly Unique To America, And They Give Us So Much Joy.

When I Read To Children, I Try To Become The Characters. It's Great If You Can Make A Separate Voice For Each Character. Sometimes You Can Lower Your Voice With Excitement Or Get More Intimate About It: You Can Lean Forward And Engage The Children As A Narrator Or As A Reader. It's Particularly Important That You Find The Voice That You Want To Use For Each Character, Because Then Children Can Imagine That Person As You're Reading Aloud. And Of Course, The Illustrations Help Enormously.

As You Become Older, You Become Less Judgmental And Take Offense Less. But Marriage Is Hard Work; The Illusion That You Get Married And Live Happily Ever After Is Absolute Rubbish.

I Miss Singing Very, Very Much, But The Best Thing Is I Have Never Been Busier.

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.
