Julie Walters Quotes

I didn’t come into the business to get awards or titles Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to give up acting - it’s what I am Picture Quote #1

The money isn’t a lure. I’ve done very well out of this business Picture Quote #1

I don’t like being out of the crowd. It’s lonely within a group Picture Quote #1

We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There were people asking ‘Can women be funny?’ People still ask that. It’s like asking: ‘Can women breathe in and out?’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Sixty felt like a big landmark. Not in a dreadful sense, but none of the other birthdays have bothered me. It’s got labels on it - OAP, retirement - and I just wanted to take stock. I wanted to be in my greenhouse at home and at least give myself the opportunity of not working again Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ll tell you how it happened. The phone rang. Paul, my agent, goes, ‘Would you like to play Meryl Streep’s?’ I said, ‘Yeeees! I’ll do it, whatever it is.’ He said, ‘It’s Mamma Mia!.’ I said, ‘Oh no, which character? The fat friend? Picture Quote #1

I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men’s magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I’d ever heard Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t watch Tom and Jerry. The cruelty was too much. I had all these strange images, of tiny animals, all mixed up Picture Quote #1

It’s getting better but men still earn more and there are more jobs for them. Ageism is a big thing. Parts for women disappear as you get older Picture Quote #1

I remember Michael saying, ‘Rich and famous? It’s much better to be just rich’. I didn’t quite get it to begin with. But he’s right. You lose anonymity. I say to my family that you’ve no idea until you lose it how precious anonymity is Picture Quote #1

Everyone comes up to me saying, ‘Cooee, Julie! Hello!’ as if I know them. Of course I don’t bloody know them. Am I flummoxed by it? Sometimes. I think, ‘Ooh, love, go easy.’ For a time, I did feel this pressure that I had to be funny, but it passes Picture Quote #1

I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn’t approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish Picture Quote #1

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking ‘Can women be funny?’ People still ask that. It’s like asking: ‘Can women breathe in and out?’ Picture Quote #1

I’m massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don’t really realise that Picture Quote #1

I’m too young at 50. I’m not grown up yet. There’s part of everybody like that Picture Quote #1

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s very strong after the birth. It’s extraordinary. You can’t watch anything to do with kids being harmed Picture Quote #1

I can understand why people get annoyed at being remembered for one thing, but a lot of actors aren’t remembered for anything. I don’t mind that Picture Quote #1

I’m more selective now I’ve got a family. I don’t want to work all the time. My daughter’s 12; I don’t want to miss out on her life. Soon she’ll be a teenager; she won’t want me around Picture Quote #1
