Quotes of Billie Piper

|---|---|
| 1 | The more things you own, the more people you need to employ. |
| 2 | Weight doesn't matter as long as you're happy with yourself. |
| 3 | Amadu is all about the family. I've never known love like that before, and it made me think, 'I want a bit of that'. It kind of forced me to get to know my family again. Another reason why he's so lovely. |
| 4 | There's not enough money in the world to get me singing "Because We Want To", again. I wouldn't do it. I think Beyoncé Knowles got a couple of million for a private show but I would be happy to turn it down. |
| 5 | I have to teach myself. I kind of wish I'd continued with my education, but that's something I can do in the future. |
| 6 | I love fresh flowers for my home. I spend far too much money on them, buying them almost every day. |
| 7 | I would really love to do a musical, I don't know in what capacity but something funny. |
| 8 | I'm happy in the UK. I absolutely love it and I've finally got a great group of friends. I've got a lovely little flat and my work's here. |
| 9 | I'm reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it's like my little friend - it takes my mind off things. |
| 10 | There are lots of great movies coming out of the U.S. but it's not something I've ever really been interested in. They're great films but I much prefer the smaller independent films, which are more thought provoking and experimental. |
| 11 | Steve Coogan does something for me. He is so naughty, but I quite fancy him. |
| 12 | 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. |
| 13 | In the next few years I'd love to play a female version of Doctor Who. I know exactly how I would play her - she would be crafty in a clever kind of way. |
| 14 | I am thinking about those things now. More so than all my friends - they're a lot older than me, but they're not even thinking about babies. |
| 15 | [on Christopher Eccleston] We get on famously. I have learned an awful lot from him. |
| 16 | That's what the Doctor (Doctor Who (2005)) is about, essentially - having that energy that you just can't understand. |
