Billie Piper

Billie Piper: (Talking about doing musicals) A musical film is my idea of heaven. You can pre- record, you don't have to sing live. Singing live was the bit I hated the most. I never felt like a confident singer.

Billie Piper: (on motherhood) I have worked some long hours in my life but these are the toughest I've ever had. The smiling is amazing. And having a new best friend for life.

Billie Piper: (on why she isn't interested in cracking the US) That world breeds neurosis and issues... I don't think I could handle all that. That mad side of it all just doesn't appeal... I've got a baby coming. And I know it's going to make me a lot happier than anything else.

Billie Piper: (On David Tennant) We are really good mates. I like everything about him, which makes it really easy to be in his company. He's a sweet, sweet guy. I call him to ask all my acting questions and he always supports what I do.

Billie Piper: I'm surprisingly chilled about my body changing, I think its because I cant do anything about it. I often see myself in the mirror and laugh. Its nice having boobs. I think when you don't have them you find ways to make yourself feel better about the lack of cleavage.

Billie Piper: (on filming the second series of Secret Diary of a Call Girl while pregnant) I had no food cravings other than wanting food constantly. This year I found the heat very uncomfortable and that, coupled with the fact that I was growing every day, the lack of sleep and the desire to just sit on my bum and stuff my face, was not conducive to work. I was thirsty all the time and always needing the toilet – which is really unhelpful when working to such a tight schedule. When I am playing Belle I have to play a sexually liberated, empowered young prostitute but unfortunately I felt like a sweating sea cow!

Billie Piper: (on Secret Diary of a Call Girl) I thought it was a side to prostitution that we are not normally exposed to, and I thought there was a story worth telling there. I kind of knew it was going to cause a bit of an uproar, especially because I was playing the part. People are always so used to me doing children's shows or family drama.
