Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even Though The Sound Of It

Singing Has Never Been Particularly Easy For Me.

You Know, Making An Animated Movie Is Such A Lonesome Thing. You Mostly Don't See Your Fellow Actors Or Anything. You Go Into Your Booth, You Record All Your Dialogue. It's Very Much An Issue Of Trust. You Leave It All Up To The Director.

I Saw The Sound Of Music Again Recently, And I Loved It. Probably It's A More Valuable Film Now Than When It First Came Out, Because Some Of The Things It Stood For Have Already Disappeared. There's A Kind Of Naive Loveliness About It, And Love Goes By So Fast ... Love And Music And Happiness And Family, That's What It's All About. I Believe In These Things. It Would Be Awful Not To, Wouldn't It?

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.

When Children Ask Me What's My Favorite [role], I Say To Them, "imagine Having Ten Beautiful New Puppies In A Basket And You Had To Say Which One Is Your Favorite, And You Simply Couldn't Because You Love Them All For Different Reasons." Poppins Was Such A Learning Experience, As Was The Sound Of Music. I Tell You, Every One Of Them Just Helped Me Grow In What I Do And Did And Each One Was Such A Phenomenal Working Experience.
