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.

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

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

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.

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.

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'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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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.
