• 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)
• David is 13 years my senior and has much more experience. (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)
• I play a character every day of my life, and I don't want to play a character as myself. They can judge me as an actress, not as a person. I'm not a spokeswoman for Anna. (Anna Friel)
• I want more children but for the next three years I want to act. (Anna Friel)

• I've never been onstage in my life. (Anna Friel)
• It's really important to draw the line on what we do as actors. (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)

• 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)
• Well it's hard to bracket it like that because everyone always thinks you either go to America and you come back, fail or succeed, but it doesn't work like that. (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)
