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

More quotes by Keri Russell
I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything... just don't eat the whole thing.
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
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.
Keri Russell
I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.
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
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
[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
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.
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
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
Really, it [the Waitress] was a story about believing in yourself ultimately, and caring enough about yourself to change your life.
Keri Russell
I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.
Keri Russell
Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more.
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
I wish I had an invisible plane to take me home to Brooklyn, and I wouldn't have to ride the subway.
Keri Russell
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
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 just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
Keri Russell
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
