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 was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

[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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

I would not let my children act when they are young!
