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.

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.

I can talk myself so much into my part.

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.

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

I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean.

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

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

I felt my mother about the place. I don't think she haunts me, but I wouldn't put it past her.
Julie Walters
10
I keep seeing myself in my daughter, and I see my mother in me and in her. Bloody hell.
Julie Walters

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.

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

I wanted above all else not to be like my mum.

I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape.
Julie Walters
I'd be hopeless at directing. I'm not the type. You've got to really know what you're doing and be quite controlling. It's a very lonely job.
Julie Walters
17
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'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'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.

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

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
22
I'm too old to be learning stuff, really. I spent weeks and weeks on that tiny bit of dance. Had it been slow stuff, it would've been easy.
Julie Walters
23
I'm too young at 50. I'm not grown up yet. There's part of everybody like that.
Julie Walters
24
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.

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

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.
Julie Walters
27
Some people have a terrible stretch between family and work. It is a difficult thing to achieve.
Julie Walters

Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.
Julie Walters
29
That's why I'm an actress - escaping into a world.

The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.
