Julie Walters's quotes

  • When I think of the future, I think of doing my washing so I've something to wear tomorrow.
  • Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.
  • It's bloody great to get to fifty-five. I've never been bothered about people knowing how old I am.
  • I was asked about doing a nude shoot for men's magazine GQ. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.
  • I don't like the future sewn up. I like an open book - the feeling that anything can happen.
  • [In a 1984 interview] (I) would never do Shakespeare again unless it was with a director I trusted. People get more out of reading Shakespeare than they do seeing a terrible production.
  • I did impersonations of everyone in the family and the teachers at school because I didn't know how to do anything else, but I was educated by nuns in my junior school and they were HEAVY.
  • [on Paddington (2014)] I asked friends who'd read the books as a child to share their memories. I grilled my husband about Mrs Bird and he said, 'Well, she was very stern, but you knew that she was loving.' I remember thinking, That's a difficult one
  • [on her part in the Harry Potter films]It was so sad when I finished. It wasn't a very big part, but it was going in every year to the same group of people. I just loved it and it's rare you have that kind of structure in your life as an actor.
  • Saoirse Ronan, she is amazing. She makes me feel like I should go to drama school, really.
  • [on her BAFTA nomination for Brooklyn (2015)] What a wonderful surprise, thrilled to be nominated. And proud to be included alongside these great women and their powerful performances.
