You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.

Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.

I personally adore origin stories - they're so intriguing, learning what shaped and formed a character.

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.

Really, it [the Waitress] was a story about believing in yourself ultimately, and caring enough about yourself to change your life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eating a cookie never feels strange. I am a big believer in food in general.

Freddie [Highmore] is great in the movie [August Rush]. It comes out this Fall and I play a young cellist, a prodigy, who is touring and doing concerts. She's very young and has a one-night fling with an Irish rocker, played Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who is also a really talented musician.

Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.

I think the first time I realized I was actually acting was during Felicity. Before that, I was just going along for the ride.

I wish I had an invisible plane to take me home to Brooklyn, and I wouldn't have to ride the subway.

People expect all women to react the same to pregnancy. But anyone who's been around pregnant women knows that it's not all cutesy and sweet. You spaz out and you're angry and you have tantrums.

I would splurge on a great pair of high heels, because you can wear them to something fancy, but regular clothes? I'd rather go on a trip than spend $10,000 on clothes, and fly first class as a treat.

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.

That's interesting to hear you say that because watching it [the Waitress] for the first time at Sundance was fascinating - it was so different from the experience of making it.

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.

There's no shortage of female role models. They're everywhere - in history, in literature, in the news. Just look around.
