While 'Felicity' was successful in the States, and I had opportunities to do other stuff, I didn't want to do anything to make myself more famous. I wasn't dealing well with the celebrity of all of that. I was 23 - just a kid - and not coming from money, it was all just too much. I just wanted to slow it down a little bit, and gain control.

I want to be able to raise my kid. I was totally being a martyr about it at first, thinking I could totally do it on my own, which I did for a while. I've hired a babysitter before, but as for a full-time caregiver... for a control freak like me, it ain't gonna happen!

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

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.

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

Eating a cookie never feels strange. I am a big believer in food in general.

The thing I loved about this movie [Waitress] when I read the script was that it was exactly the kind of film that I love to watch. It's not just funny, it's serious, just when you need it to be and true to life in a way.
