Eating a cookie never feels strange. I am a big believer in food in general.
Keri Russell
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.
Keri Russell
I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
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
[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.

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 positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.
Keri Russell
You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.
Keri Russell
Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.
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
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.
Keri Russell
Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more.

I feel better in my mind when I work out. It makes everything better.
Keri Russell
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
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
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.
Keri Russell
I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.

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.

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'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.
