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

I think it's quite common and realistic. There are many stories like this [in Waitress]. [Jenna, my character] marriage looks really horrible up on the screen but I think there are a lot of people in bad relationships who wake up and think to themselves: "Wow, how did I end up here? Why am I still here and so unhappy and not satisfied with my life?"

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.

Dance has helped me with everything. It was a great foundation for discipline, hard work and, unfortunately, the ever-elusive idea of perfection. It lends itself easily to fight choreography, because that's what it really is. Choreography. And knowing how to move with someone.

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