Acting Quote by Angela Lansbury

“I just went along for the ride. It was a God-given gift. It is. So you can't say well, you wasted your life because you spent all of it acting, but I think gosh, I've never been to China, I've never been to Japan. I've never been to Yellowstone Park.” quote by Angela Lansbury — Download Open image
