ADD QUOTES
- Anna: (about her role on Brookside) I am incredibly grateful for that part but I wouldn't want to go back to soap. It would be like going back to being a student when you've already got a job.

- Anna: Some producer suddenly grabbed my doughnut out of my hand. Then he said, 'Anna, you really shouldn't be doing that'. He said, 'your tummy's not looking right on screen'. If it's just about that they should have hired a model. I mean, we're not talking about a big f**king tummy here!
  Edit Share Hide
- Anna: (about whether she'd like daughter Gracie to become an actress) As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible - my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.
