A Quote by Emma Walton Hamilton

When I was three years old, a nanny took me shopping and I saw large cut-outs of Mary Poppins in the store and yelled, 'That's mummy!' These women walked by and said, 'Oh how cute. That little girl thinks that Mary Poppins is her mum.'

You're worried about the quality of John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's child care? It's not like they're getting their nanny off Craigslist. They're rich celebrities. They could get Mary Poppins to watch their baby, as in literally call Julie Andrews, get her to come out of retirement to babysit in character as Mary Poppins.

I was 3 years old and Mary Poppins [1964] made an impression on me that was seismic, apparently. I fell into some kind of total creative, imaginative rapture over that movie that propelled this industry of Mary Poppins drawings, plays, performances - just an obsessive, creative reaction to it.

Todd Haynes

I never wanted Mary Poppins to be my nanny. I wanted to be her when I grew up.

Anita Diament

I love Mary Poppins - when I was little I was obsessed with it.

Willa Holland

If you've seen Mary Poppins and The Grinch, come to the Booth Theater and let me shove a little coal down your stocking.

Nathan Lane

The real Mary Poppins got lost when Hollywood turned her into a cream puff.

Anita Diament

I get little kids who recognize me from 'Mary Poppins,' and it just delights me because it's our third generation.

Dick Van Dyke

In terms of influence, my style icons have been a mixture of Julie Andrews and Olivia Newton-John. When I was little I used to watch 'Grease,' 'Mary Poppins' and 'The Sound of Music' a lot. If you put all those things together you do kind of get my outfits. A slightly tarty nanny in a second-hand outfit. That is pretty much what I wear.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Never, ever stop believing in magic, no matter how old you get. Because if you keep looking long enough and don't give up, sooner or later you're going to find Mary Poppins.

Steve Kluger

Mary Poppins is magical and fun.

Julie Andrews

The most irritating movie character for me was that cradle-to-grave commie, Mary Poppins.

Ann Coulter

I hate being good. -Mary Poppins

P. L. Travers

'Mary Poppins' was one of the best experiences of my life.

Dick Van Dyke

I'm not Mary Poppins, but I think I functioned with integrity.

Dawn Steel

My mum always tells the story that, when she was pregnant with me, and I was two weeks late, she would watch Mary Poppins over and over again to try and get me to come out. That is my relationship with Julie Andrews.
