"I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!"

Angela Lansbury is assessing her success at a young age. She was put under agreement by a major studio and was chosen for an Academy Award at the age of 18. She is shocked by her success and discovers it ludicrous that she achieved such a feat at such a young age. She is likely assessing the hard work and devotion it required to get to that point and fears of her own achievements. Her quote is a testimony to the power of hard work and dedication, and functions as a motivation to young people who are striving to achieve their goals.
