Quote

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.

I was having my teens in my 30s.
Julie Walters
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.

You can't help but feel a little bit like a mother to the younger cast members.
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
Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.
Julie Walters
Image
I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women.

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.

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

I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.
Julie Walters

There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'
Julie Walters
Image
Debate is so much better than denial.
Julie Walters
Image
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
Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.
Julie Walters
Image
The characters do have a life of their own it's weird.
Julie Walters
Image
Along the way I have been able to choose some themes which ask questions - not necessarily force a message on anyone, but at least invite the audience to question things: jury service, dignity in dying, Ireland - and not least because they force me to ask myself questions. Where do I stand?

In order to be creative you have to be allowed to fail.
Julie Walters
Image
Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.
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
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.

That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.
