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.

Yeah, I like being on my own. I do. I tend to be a loner, so I'm okay. I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time.

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.

Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face. They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it.

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

I don't think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30. I didn't grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.
