Quote

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.

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

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.

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

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.

[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 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.

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.

Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.

I was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.

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

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

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 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 would not let my children act when they are young!

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