More quotes by Keri Russell
I think I'm probably more passionate about acting now than when I was a kid. When I was young, I didn't know what I was doing.
Keri Russell
I personally adore origin stories - they're so intriguing, learning what shaped and formed a character.
Keri Russell
I'm kind of a scaredy cat - I don't watch a ton of them. I mean, I started reaching this script at night and had to wait until the next morning to finish it so it would be light out. It really scared me. The scary movies I like are The Others and Pan's Labyrinth - they're so scary but they're about real things, and hopefully this is too.
Keri Russell
When I was on the 'Mickey Mouse Club,' there was Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Christine Aguilera. But they were 12 and I was 17, so there was a bit of an age difference.
Keri Russell
I tend to come home and eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not thinking about baking a pie when I'm off work.
Keri Russell
I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.
Keri Russell
Eating a cookie never feels strange. I am a big believer in food in general.
Keri Russell
I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.
Keri Russell
Who knows? Maybe years from now I'll be on a ranch in Colorado with 10 kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything, and I think it's better when there are a few surprises thrown in.
Keri Russell
We shot the movie [Waitress] in 20 days so there wasn't a lot of time to learn. There wasn't a lot of pie baking going on, at least not by me. But we always had pies while we were filming - we ate two different pies every day for lunch!
Keri Russell
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
Keri Russell
While 'Felicity' was successful in the States, and I had opportunities to do other stuff, I didn't want to do anything to make myself more famous. I wasn't dealing well with the celebrity of all of that. I was 23 - just a kid - and not coming from money, it was all just too much. I just wanted to slow it down a little bit, and gain control.
Keri Russell
[Adrienne Shelly] explain exactly what she was looking for. This was her movie [Waitress].She also wrote the songs that I sing in it. She wrote everything. She chose the colour of our outfits she designed the set of the diner. She was very, very involved at every level.
Keri Russell
I'm naturally thin, so I don't have to work too hard at it. I love food, but I also love to work out. I think it makes everything work better.
Keri Russell
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
Keri Russell
I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.
Keri Russell
With a pie, the crust is a real delicacy. It's very hard to get it just right because it's got to be cold and just the right consistency. There's a whole art to it and I haven't learned how to do it [filming in Waitress].There's not a lot of time for cooking, especially when you're shooting nights or working until 11pm.
Keri Russell
I was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.
Keri Russell
I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
Keri Russell
Dance has helped me with everything. It was a great foundation for discipline, hard work and, unfortunately, the ever-elusive idea of perfection. It lends itself easily to fight choreography, because that's what it really is. Choreography. And knowing how to move with someone.
