Cheryl [Hines] and I sat through two screenings at the Sundance Film Festival and during the second one, we said to each other: "You know, we don't have to get sad about this. Let's try to enjoy this. Let's just watch it. It's a happy movie [Waitress]."

I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.

I tend to come home and eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not thinking about baking a pie when I'm off work.

[Andy Griffith] is so great. He's just a dream. He's a beautiful man and so professional. I think he had more to say, script-wise, than anyone else, and when you're older it's not easy to memorize lines.

I don't have time for any special skin routines. Many a night I go to bed with the gloppy mascara and all.

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.
