I'd love to tackle a classic Shakespeare play or take on Nora Helmer in 'A Doll's House.' Musical theater, it's the classics like Rodgers and Hammerstein and Cole Porter's 'Kiss Me Kate.' I'm much more a Julie Andrews-type soprano than an Idina Menzel.

Beth Behrs

I've met a lot of famous people that I just thought were so unbelievable. For me, meeting Julie Andrews was probably the highlight of my life.

Laura Benanti

I think Splash made people realize that I was still alive, and I think I inspired a lot of people. I have people coming up to me all the time in the airport saying, "Hey, you inspired me to learn how to swim!" "You inspired me to start moving around more." "You inspired me to start doing more for myself." So that was good. But mostly I took it because nobody had given me a job. And you know what really matters in life, right?

Louie Anderson

I still absolutely love 'The Sound of Music' and anything with Julie Andrews in it.

Kristin Scott Thomas

My favorite actresses are Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Julie Andrews.

Dakota Fanning

My entire life's journey has been hugely influenced by seeing Julie Andrews.

Nicholas Hammond

Working with Julie Andrews is like getting hit over the head with a valentine.

Christopher Plummer

We must never return to the Julie Andrews curriculum where we teach "a few of my favorite things"!

Andy Hargreaves

Julie Andrews has a wonderful British strength that makes you wonder why they lost India.

Moss Hart

I had the honor of doing a two-man show with Julie Andrews around Australia and New Zealand.

Nicholas Hammond

The people who raised me musically are my mother, who is a classically trained pianist, and my stepfather.

Jeff Buckley

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.

Phoebe Dynevor

I'm trained as an actor for the stage - classically trained, believe it or not - and I worked closely with Stella Adler for years. People don't know that much about it. They just think I am these people. But I've been in this comedy racket, because it's just how everybody wants to see me.

Michael Richards

I've been classically trained in piano since I was little. My father was a pianist, so they started me early.

Beth Phoenix

I wasn't thrilled about 'The Sound Of Music' - not the movie itself but my role in it. Captain Von Trapp was a bore, and they tried to help by giving it a bit more cynicism, but it wasn't my favourite role. I enjoyed the music, and I loved Julie Andrews.

Christopher Plummer

Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
