I think the first time I realized I was actually acting was during Felicity. Before that, I was just going along for the ride.

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.

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!

Sex has never been something I've done in my career - at all.

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

I think people like to be thrilled and excited. And a scary movie is a safe way to do that because you're not actually doing it. It's entertainment. You know that you're in the confines of this two-hour space of safety in the movie house.
