More quotes by 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
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 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
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.
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
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
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.
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
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
I wish I had an invisible plane to take me home to Brooklyn, and I wouldn't have to ride the subway.
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'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
[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
Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more.
Keri Russell
There's no shortage of female role models. They're everywhere - in history, in literature, in the news. Just look around.
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
I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.
Keri Russell
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.
Keri Russell
I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything... just don't eat the whole thing.
