A Quote by Todd Haynes

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.

My very first movie, 'Mary Poppins,' which I talk about, it just turned me into an obsessive, creative creature who had to sort of reply to the experience by drawing things, making things. It was like it forced - it made me into this obsessive, creative creature... I don't know any other way of putting it.

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.'

Emma Walton Hamilton

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.

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

Ann Coulter

'Mary Poppins,' the movie, was an object of mockery if you were a student in the '60s, something to be laughed at.

Richard Eyre

There are elements of me in the roles I've played in the past. But people forget that Mary Poppins was just a role, too.

Julie Andrews

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

Dick Van Dyke

Mary Poppins is magical and fun.

Julie Andrews

Every generation comes upon the movie again, and then, invariably, the books have a spike in sales because people want to read more about Mary Poppins.

John Lee Hancock

'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

I hate being good. -Mary Poppins

P. L. Travers

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

Willa Holland

I think the idea of 'Mary Poppins' has been blowing in and out of me, like a curtain at a window, all my life.

P. L. Travers

I think the idea of Mary Poppins has been blowing in and out of me, like a curtain at a window, all my life.

P. L. Travers

'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' was a movie that I repeatedly turned down. The movie's producer, Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli, known for his tight-fisted control of the James Bond movie franchise, desperately wanted to re-team Julie Andrews and me after the success we'd enjoyed with 'Mary Poppins.'
