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

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

[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.

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.

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 love Cheryl [Hines] so much and had so much fun with her. Off set we got on so well and would tell stories.

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

Who knows? Maybe years from now I'll be on a ranch in Colorado with 10 kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything, and I think it's better when there are a few surprises thrown in.

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

Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.

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

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

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!

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'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.
