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

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]."

Acting happened to me. If I had pursued it, I think it would have been like someone going to a bar, desperately looking for love and not finding anyone.

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

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.

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

Everyone should dance more. Everyone should walk more.
