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

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.

I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything... just don't eat the whole thing.

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.

Image
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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I feel better in my mind when I work out. It makes everything better.

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.

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