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.

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

I am crazy for dessert. I eat everything. No one should be denied anything... just don't eat the whole thing.

I can make cookies and do easy stuff. Pies are very specific and hard to do well though.

[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 do think it [the Waitress] speaks in a positive way for women and it was surprising for me to see it for the first time as a movie all put together with music. I really liked it a lot.

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