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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

Dance is definitely what I love doing much more than anything else.
