Quotations by Angela Lansbury, author




I thought I ought to collect my own quotations in one place, for an article or book.

I wrote on the page for my good friend Shan Shan, under a picture of her with birthday cake:
As Marie Antoinette said on her birthday: Let them eat cake.

From my radio phone in when I was the etiquette expert for brides and weddings on BBC Radio London and I responded to a listener's query:
Of course you can wear white (as a bride) if you are not a virgin. Everybody else does.

On reading about hedgehogs:
I have lots of prickly friends but none of them are hedgehogs.

Quotations from a speaker's meeting on Time





Time is money.

Warren said that stealing time is like stealing money.

Yes, working overtime costs more. People are paid by the hour. Taking an extra minute means somebody else loses their leisure time or their speaking time. If you are annoyed at being stopped when you reach your time limit, imagine how annoyed others feel if they get less time because you had more - or there's no time for their speech!
