More quotes by Anna Friel
In Hollywood I got work but not the right work until Pushing Daisies. Every girl in LA wanted the part of Chuck. I was terrified - I didn't know if I could be funny.
Anna Friel
Onstage, there's no hiding you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
Anna Friel
My whole family is quite petite, so I have good genes on my side. But I find it quite tiresome that we have to keep talking about sizes and how much weight we can lose.
Anna Friel
I look at being an actress as being like a mummy: You're bandaged up and preserved as soon as you start making other people money.
Anna Friel
You can see when an actor gets bored: Their eyes go dead. I promised myself I'd never let that happen. If it does, I'll go and live on a desert island for a year.
Anna Friel
I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.
Anna Friel
People became more interested in my love life than in me, and that has a certain effect. You start to feel very empty and worth nothing, you start to become a piece in a board game you never wanted to play.
Anna Friel
These women need to feel that we're all aware of what they may be going through, to give them the confidence to speak out.
Anna Friel
The doctors say it dates back to a film where I had these huge prosthetic breasts because my character was breast-feeding. The weight of them, and of the baby, did my back in.
Anna Friel
Any scene that involves stripping off is hell. You just know it's going to take a day or more to get it right. It never gets any better and it's always uncomfortable, and all you can do is grin and bare it. I just pray it's never gratuitous and that it doesn't look so fake that all you hear in the audience is, 'Well, that's not really her, is it?'
Anna Friel
I'm in a really good place. I used to be a right worrier, but being in a settled relationship has made a massive difference. I was on my own for three years before meeting David. I'm very happy with him, he's a fantastic man. But you never know what's around the corner, so you just hope for the best.
Anna Friel
When I was younger I thought I'd meet the man of my dreams, get married and have a child, but it all went higgledy-piggledy. Never say never, though.
Anna Friel
If oil exploration can threaten a place as beautiful and meaningful as Virunga, where next?
Anna Friel
I've been on sets where the turnaround is so fast and the budget so small that the actors have been asked to speed things up and save money by changing in the public toilets. There's no room for vanity at times like that. It's the best way: get on with it!
Anna Friel
There were reports of me using fat-sucking machines and all sorts of silliness. All I did was walk a lot and breast-feed. I've never been on a strict diet. I just don't overeat, and I don't eat if I'm not hungry.
Anna Friel
And the most important thing - apart from telling a good, believable story, and being a true character - is to be someone the audience will care about, even if you're playing a murderer or rapist.
Anna Friel
I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.
Anna Friel
But Americans find me bizarre and always ask me why I eat so many carbs. I tell them I don't get full otherwise.
Anna Friel
Eternity to a child offers goodness, and eternal life to a man is essentially corrupting because it involves a certain amount of vanity to embrace it.
Anna Friel
Now learning a bit more about footballers I think what they need to do well, is someone who really wants to stay in the background and just be a strong support.
