Quote

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!

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

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.

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 wish I had an invisible plane to take me home to Brooklyn, and I wouldn't have to ride the subway.

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.

[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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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