More quotes by 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
I have the most lovely, healthy bouncing baby, she was all very compact and the right size.
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
I want more children but for the next three years I want to act.
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
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
If oil exploration can threaten a place as beautiful and meaningful as Virunga, where next?
Anna Friel
I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.
Anna Friel
I'd like to put the record straight about that. I've been labelled an irresponsible role model for young mothers, but none of it is true. I couldn't even walk for two weeks after the birth, let alone exercise. I ate very healthily all the way through my pregnancy and afterwards. I didn't do anything extreme.
Anna Friel
Onstage, there's no hiding you either can or can't act. There's no second take.
Anna Friel
I've got the best lead man, I really love my lead man.
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
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
I was just disciplined. I knew I had to get back into shape after six weeks for the film Goal II, but I cheated in the end - I wore a corset. I loved my pregnancy, I blossomed. I felt goddess-like and very secure. I found it comforting to have a little thing growing inside me, and very calming.
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
Eating at home is important for us, because we eat out so much when we're away. When I'm at home I cook a lot and we eat pretty healthily. I'm not a massive vegetable fan - I've got better since I discovered how to undercook them.
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
Well ironically my last three roles have all been a mother. One was a Canadian film where the baby was taken away because she is a drug addict, in Irish Jam I play a mother to a four year old. I think in the future I'll be able to handle the role with a lot more depth.
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 was so completely anxious before I had a child, but now my biggest worry is something happening to her, so anything other than that I can handle. That's not to say I'm calm, because that would be b****cks! I wish it were the case, but it's getting better as I get older.
