I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre.
Julie Walters
Image
It's getting better generally, daily, especially in TV, for women in acting and age and looks count less. As more women come into the business. Change of any sort takes a long time to happen.

Image
We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring
Julie Walters
Image
I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did.

Image
It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.
Julie Walters
Image
I've never done so much bloody crying in my life. I was always moaning about how hard it was when we were shooting, how awful I felt.

Being a mother adds another emotional dimension, a feel for children that I didn't have before I had one. They were a pain before.
Julie Walters
Image
I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.

I was having my teens in my 30s.

Image
There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.
Julie Walters
Image
I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.
Julie Walters
Image
I'd like to think there'll be too much of real life going on for me to want to do much acting.
Julie Walters
Image
Stage is the most exciting. Film is lovely, because it's like a family.
Julie Walters
Image
You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
Julie Walters
Image
I'm writing a novel about two actresses who go to New York, because that's what I know about. One has lost touch with reality, disappears and is picked up by a man.
Julie Walters
Image
I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.

My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.
