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

It's sad when girls think they don't have anything going on except being pretty.

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

I love Cheryl [Hines] so much and had so much fun with her. Off set we got on so well and would tell stories.

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]."

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 the complication of the kids in the characters' lives. I love that these two people are very capable in all these ways. They're so trained. They're kind of deadly. They're smart and vicious at times, but I love that they're undone by a teenager, like we all are. We're all incensed and undone by the ungratefulness of a child, and I love that it matters so greatly to them, in a way that it matters to every parent. Teenagers are going to do that no matter where you live or who you are.
