Everything seems fine until you're about 40. Then something is definitely beginning to go wrong. And you look in the mirror with your old habit of thinking 'While I accept that everyone grows old and dies it's a funny thing but I'm an exception to that rule.'

One can always come up with funny lists and jokes. You know what? I take it back. Not everyone can always come up with funny lists and some jokes. I'm very lucky to have a gift where I can do that pretty ably.

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.

There are so many funny women in the world and there has been for so many years so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male ' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.

Being funny it turns out is like being a bank. It's a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you you are fine.

In this world everyone wants to know everything about you and I think that's funny.

I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.

Like almost everyone who uses e-mail I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.

You know fame is a funny thing man especially you know actors musicians rappers rock singers it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars you go to clubs everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
