I was always someone who lived in the future all the time, it was always the next thing - dreams of escape.

Everyone comes up to me saying, 'Cooee, Julie! Hello!' as if I know them. Of course I don't 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.

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

Self worth is everything. Without it life is a misery.

I can talk myself so much into my part.

It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.

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