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

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!

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

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]."

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

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