Judy Quotations

I sing 'I Have Confidence' from 'The Sound of Music' as Judy Garland, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Elaine Stritch and Julie Andrews - each alternating lines.

I went to a lot of theatre. My parents were very involved with the performing arts. I went to nightclub shows when I was a little girl. We went to Florida and we would go to the Cocoanut Grove down there. We'd go see Lena Horne, Jimmy Durante, Sophie Tucker and Judy Garland.

Adapting a Judy Blume book is something I really wanted to do, and you couldn't grow up in the '90s without knowing about 'Tiger Eyes' and reading it. It should've been assigned to all teenage girls.

Usually, you get to interview that one girl who plays the sister on some Disney show - you interview that girl a lot - but sometimes, every once in a while, you get to interview a legend. I have interviewed some amazingly iconic people, including Michelle Obama, Oprah, Sidney Poitier and Judy Dench. These people are legit icons.

I made all these great musicals with Judy Garland. It was all about me going into a barn and saying: 'Let's put on a show.' That's what me and Judy did.

I was distressed by the poor quality of the debate surrounding energy. I was also noticing so much green wash from politicians and big business. I was tired of the debate - the extremism, the nimbyism, the hair shirt. We need a constructive conversation about energy, not a Punch and Judy show. I just wanted to try to reboot the whole debate.

I appreciate recipes that tell you what can be changed and what must remain fixed. 'The Zuni Cafe Cookbook' by the late Judy Rodgers is superb at this.

I did one of the 'Amazing Stories.' That was the first time I got to play a character who was a dumb blonde. I actually channeled Judy Holliday.

As a newcomer, you know, you don't come out the gate as a singer and try to compare with Judy Garland.

I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way.

Judy couldn't move to Britain for family reasons, so I had to come to the States, and the U.S. government wouldn't give me a Green Card, so I airily told her I'd write a book.

It's funny, we started writing chick-lit when it was just becoming a crowded marketplace, and now the same thing is happening with YA. It really used to just be one shelf at the library - Nancy Drew and Judy Blume.

It's really a grand old, legendary theatre where the spirits of like Judy Garland and all these great performers have been. The clubs are way more underground.

Music was always part of my life - my mother says I came out singing. I wanted to be Gene Kelly - or Judy Garland.

When my father died, my mother came back from being Mrs. Birkin to being Judy Campbell. She was a stunning actress. She came out of her shell. She was herself again: this very independent, funny, intellectual lady - and was able to perform again, which was her life before meeting my father squashed it out.

Every day, my mom and I would watch a different Judy Garland VHS. I love how she tells a story when she sings. It was just about her voice and the words she was singing - no strings attached or silly hair or costumes, just a woman singing her heart out. I feel like that doesn't happen that much anymore.

I was brought up with beautiful music - Nat King Cole and Glen Miller from my dad, and my mum loved Judy Garland and Doris Day - brilliant stuff. Through my brothers and sisters I heard David Bowie and The Specials, The Carpenters, Meatloaf and The Rolling Stones.

I'd watch old movies with Judy Garland, Shirley Temple and Bette Davis and long to be part of that glamorous world. A lot of that glamour is gone now. In my own small way, I hope I'm bringing some of it back. But it would be great if I could inspire women to dress up.

As a kid, during the school year, my head was often buried in a textbook or Judy Blume book; the words and pictures were the perfect, barrier-free environment for me.

I grew up with the movies of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and Judy Garland - these are the kinds of shows and the kinds of numbers in shows that I dreamed of being in and doing when I was a kid.

I would say I grew up listening a lot to Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland and Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell. I grew up listening to those because my parents were kind of into folk music.

One time, we were up in Cooperstown and Judy got sick, and Dallas Green went to the hotel manager and gave him his credit card

I'd like to be next to Judy Dench purely because I think she might get me a part as a Bond villain. I think I would be a good villain.

I gravitated to Judy Blume early on. 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing' was my favorite, with a realistic and relatable protagonist in Peter Hatcher. When I reached the fourth grade, I made the leap to science fiction and never looked back.

Much would depend upon what Mr. Libby said to the grand jury. If he said that he had not talked to Judy about these things or didn't talk about the wife, then he's got a problem.

She chose to leave that forum and not answer questions at the same time her colleagues were answering questions. Judy chose to open herself up like that.

Many of Judy Blume's books - which I devoured when I was growing up and where I found characters that were believable because they were a lot like me - caused considerable consternation when they were first published, but now they're widely accepted as an essential part of the children's literary canon.

Sid was a great showman, he had great instincts and he knew how to package and put together a show, ... Certainly, I can say, knowing him, that Judy was the love of his life. He still loved her and always did.

Sid was a great showman, ... I think he understood Judy better professionally than anyone else did. He knew how to produce her shows, which were lavish, full-blown productions.

She's like Judy Holliday with a real edge.

There are so many psychological and deep ramifications to this story -- that's why Neil and I were attracted to it. Like (Storyline's 'Life With Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows'), this is not just another biopic.

Fourteen months ago, I was zero in the polls. We think we're neck and neck with Judy right now.

I don't want people to think that this was for nothing. Judy recognizes that the leadership style needs to change.

I love being a Givenik Ambassador. Not only does it give me a platform to discuss my favorite charities, but I get to talk about my other favorite topic - 'The Judy Show!'

Mary, there may be bad people on Earth who do bad things. But when I hear about all that, I always think about the good things that good people do. And Judy Garland was a very nice woman who did very nice things in her life.

I see a lot of women around me who seem to stop developing as individuals after marriage and children. I don't know what kinds of pressure they're under, but I think it robs the world of 'the older version of Judy or Wendy,' or whomever. It robs the world of the next iteration of them, and I don't think that's right.

Judy believed Libby was afraid of her testimony,

Judy did nothing that the New York Times did not want her to do. They encouraged her to stay in jail.

Judy Garland would gain and lose a lot of weight, and because of that, she ended up having no derriere, so she had to have a prosthetic one to give her shape in some of her evening gowns. Because we're working on a Canadian show and they're very cheap, they wanted to take my wife's prosthetic (butt) away. That was the whole pilot. The great thing about a Canadian show is we have a little more freedom, I think.

Judy had been one of the reporters on the receiving end of the anti-Wilson whisper campaign.

Judy is one of the reasons I'm a singer in the first place.

Judy is very clear and forthright about this. Judy believes that marriage is between a biological man and a biological woman. That is the law in Illinois.

Judy Jacobs is not to be underestimated. She's a civic activist turned elected official and a seasoned politician. She cannot be taken lightly.

Judy met this afternoon with the special counsel to hand over additional notes and answer questions. She is to return to the grand jury Wednesday to supplement her earlier testimony.

Judy Miller was a senior my freshman year and she was our leading scorer. She told me that I was next. Are you going to believe that when you're a freshman? I don't know.

Judy requested a very private service for family only back in Indiana and I know our friends will understand and respect her decision.

Judy told the Times she ... intends to return to the newsroom 'hoping to cover the same thing I've always covered, the threat to country'.

Judy wanted to be certain we had filled the position.

Judy was very reluctant to seem to be putting pressure on a source to release her to speak. And at the time, it would not have solved the other issue.

I think Judge Judy is, like Oprah, sort of the star of her genre.

I think Judge Judy is, like Oprah, sort of the star of her genre. She lays it on the line and she doesn't let you get away with anything. ... She stands out as an ethical voice that speaks to the common man.

I think Judy Shepard's appearance is fantastic for this campus and community. I hope that Ms. Shepard's appearance on campus will encourage people to look closer at the issues that Ms. Shepard and The Laramie Project are raising.

Out of the Fire: Recent work by Judy Wojcik and John Peterson

I was asked once if I ever got tired of playing bimbos, and I answered that I've never played a bimbo. I've always played smart, manipulative women. Marilyn Monroe and Judy Holliday, who were not stupid, could play stupid really well, but I don't do it well.

You know, the way I'm accepted, I almost feel like Judy Garland, truly. It makes no sense to me because I don't think that I've been any more outspoken... Or maybe I have, I don't know. But everyone I know supports anything that has to do with raising money or with AIDS.

We are grateful to Judy for her significant personal sacrifice to defend an important journalistic principle. I respect her decision to retire from The Times and wish her well.

There are a lot of people, like Senator Dole, that are concerned about her as a friend and as a reporter. And Judy has a lot of friends.

While Judy Miller sat in jail for 85 days and Mr. Libby knew that she was doing it to protect him, no call came in from him, no letter arrived from him,

When we got married in the early '50s, Judy was still very beautiful. She was only 5 foot tall just a shrimp of a girl, really but she had a very sensuous body and, up close, her skin was like porcelain, pure white. I was crazy about her. She had incredibly kissable lips.

I started Bridges High School 10 years ago, and Judy, if she wasn't working hard, it never would have happened. This is pretty difficult for me. I had utmost respect for Judy over the years.

I've teamed with Judy Meister of Santa Anna, who is the Coleman County coordinator. We're trying to get people to sign the petition.

You don't know what a fanatic Judy Garland fan or an Oz fanatic is capable of. They think they want to have them, even if they have to keep them at some sort of twisted altar someplace down in the basement.

Sounds like we need Judy here to argue in favor of a tax increase.

A lot of the reporters have really been wondering and doubting their editors. It wasn't that they knew the defense of Judy was wrong, but they didn't have a sense of what was being defended. . . . People all over the paper think the Times should have been covering the story harder.

I never had a favourite book! I liked all kinds of things - science fiction, so I read Heinlen and Ray Bradbury, and I also liked reading about kids like myself, so I read Judy Blume and Norma Klein and Paula Danzinger and a lot of other writers. I also read James Herriot!

At its core, ... a time had come when it was possible to resolve this. Judy had no desire to continue to endure life in the detention center.

The contempt has been lifted, and I am delighted that Judy can go forward with her great reporting.

I just don't think there is any more Judy Miller credibility,

I just made an attempt to take the experiences that Judy shows us in this script and find something in my lexicon of experience that helped me understand why she was doing what she was doing. Some of it I don't have an experience of, and some of it I do.

By wearing Judy Miller's prisoner number, reporters and other participants in the race will show solidarity with our colleague who is unable to participate along with us,

Clearly the special counsel has made a judgment, ... that when taking the comments and statements of Matt Cooper and Judy Miller and myself as opposed to Scooter Libby, he has decided that Mr. Libby was not telling the truth.

As director, I am devastated. Michael Shaw is a friend of this museum and has been a guest at the Judy Garland Festival for years. It is our hope that the slippers can be recovered immediately.

The guy that's got the money is going to define the candidate before he or she can define themselves. Judy won't have any money.

There's a bit of hypocrisy in John Kerry's message, ... Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics.

It's for that little bit of Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney in all of us.

I came here when Judy was president, and that was definitely one of the things that kept me there. It was inspiring and motivating. . . . She was very who she was, and that sort of makes you comfortable being who you are. And know that you can succeed.

I don't want to represent a principle. I want to represent Judy Miller.

I felt strongly that, one, Judy deserved the support of the paper in this cause - and the editorial page is the right place for such support, not the news pages. And secondly, that this issue of a federal shield law is really important to the nation.

songs that Judy sang in her younger years. The happy songs.

For the Colonel's Lady an' Judy O'Grady / Are sisters under their skins!
