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
I was the little, funny one. I felt I was the child among grown women. – 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
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 womens stories. God, the BBCs practically run by women. – Julie Walters
