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

I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
Keri Russell

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

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

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.

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.

Maybe I’m old, but to me, ‘going out’ means going out to dinner. It’s about the conversation: someone recognizing your intellect, the charm of flirting, and really speaking to somebody.

[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.

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.

When you are 16 you are supposed to be doing cool things, like sneaking alcohol, not living in Disney World and doing skits about mice.
Keri Russell
Image
You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.
Keri Russell
Image
I don't think, as a 15-year-old, you're that conscious about a lifetime career. I didn't think: I'm a serious actor. I never studied acting or anything when I was that age.
Keri Russell
Image
I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.

Image
I would not let my children act when they are young!
Keri Russell
Image
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.

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

Image
I tend to come home and eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not thinking about baking a pie when I'm off work.

Image
I love Cheryl [Hines] so much and had so much fun with her. Off set we got on so well and would tell stories.

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.

I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.
