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

Adrienne [ Shelly] had 100 per cent control over this movie [ Waitress] as a director. She didn't just write it, direct it and act in it, she was the creative force behind everything, from the jokes down to the expressions.

Personally, I'm a real wimp with scary movies. I get so scared.

I am positive I was not a neglected child. I remember reading 'The Jungle Book' and 'The Sleeping Beauty.

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

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

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?"
