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

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

I'm kind of a scaredy cat - I don't watch a ton of them. I mean, I started reaching this script at night and had to wait until the next morning to finish it so it would be light out. It really scared me. The scary movies I like are The Others and Pan's Labyrinth - they're so scary but they're about real things, and hopefully this is too.

I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets. I'd be the worst spy of all time.

Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.

Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face. They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it.

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