Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking Can women be funny? People still ask that. Its like asking: Can women breathe in and out? – Julie Walters

Everyone comes up to me saying, Cooee, Julie! Hello! as if I know them. Of course I dont 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. – Julie Walters

I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women. – Julie Walters
