Julie Walters quotes - page 2

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. (Julie Walters)

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.

Julie Walters

My mother was born on a tiny farm in County Mayo. She was meant to stay at home and look after the farm while her brother and sister got an education. However, she came to England on a visit and never went back.

Julie Walters

Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.

Julie Walters

The money isn't a lure. I've done very well out of this business.

Julie Walters

I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.

Julie Walters

I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.

Julie Walters

I never had any acting heroes. I never really went to the theatre.

Julie Walters

I don't like being out of the crowd. It's lonely within a group.

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.

Julie Walters

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. (Julie Walters)

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?

Julie Walters

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

Julie Walters

Some of the most interesting questions needing to be asked today can best be asked on television, or on stage, and they can be wonderful, great dramas, but they won't necessarily be blockbusters.

Julie Walters

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

Julie Walters

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

I don't want to give up acting - it's what I am.

Julie Walters

I didn't come into the business to get awards or titles.

Julie Walters

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

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.

Julie Walters

We have to take risks with art. If we don't, it all becomes a bit boring. (Julie Walters)

I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.

Julie Walters

It's very strong after the birth. It's extraordinary. You can't watch anything to do with kids being harmed.

Julie Walters

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

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?
