More quotes by Anna Friel
When you're given something new, it's always exciting 'cause you're the first one to do it. You're not having to live up to any expectations, or be compared to anyone who's ever done it before.
Anna Friel
It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors.
Anna Friel
I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.
Anna Friel
I've got the best lead man, I really love my lead man.
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
It's so important to raise awareness of this problem that continues to affect 1 in 4 women at some point in their lifetime, regardless of career, wealth or background.
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.
Anna Friel
I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.
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
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
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
If oil exploration can threaten a place as beautiful and meaningful as Virunga, where next?
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
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
I have the most lovely, healthy bouncing baby, she was all very compact and the right size.
Anna Friel
Onstage, there's no hiding you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
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
Being a mother gives you an incredible feeling of empowerment, you think if I can go through such pain and that level of sleep and still operate and not be grumpy you can do anything. It can be quite scary, you can't function your brain, forget your vocabulary.
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!
