I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life.

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

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.

Freddie [Highmore] is great in the movie [August Rush]. It comes out this Fall and I play a young cellist, a prodigy, who is touring and doing concerts. She's very young and has a one-night fling with an Irish rocker, played Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who is also a really talented musician.

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

I do think it [the Waitress] speaks in a positive way for women and it was surprising for me to see it for the first time as a movie all put together with music. I really liked it a lot.
