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.

I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.

There were all us baby boomers who had a grammar school education, started to learn, then went on the pill, the whole thing, and so there are today a lot more women writers, editors, producers, and so a lot more women's stories. God, the BBC's practically run by women.

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.

Shakespeare - it's not funny. No matter how they try to make Shakespeare funny, when it's meant to be funny it's not funny.
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.
Julie Walters
Image
I'm interested in politics, what's going on in the world, how people behave and how your life is often in the hands of other people.

Debate is so much better than denial.
Julie Walters
Image
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'd love to be in another film, but they haven't asked me. I think it's a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.
Julie Walters
Image
That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.
Julie Walters
Image
Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.
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.

Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.

When I think of the future, I think of doing my washing so I've something to wear tomorrow.
