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

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

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.

I love doing laundry! It's so satisfying. I love the way it smells. I love doing the sheets.

When I was on the 'Mickey Mouse Club,' there was Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling and Christine Aguilera. But they were 12 and I was 17, so there was a bit of an age difference.

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

You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.
