thinking age acting
I don't think, as a 15-year-old, you're that conscious about a lifetime career. I didn't think: "I'm a serious actor." I never studied acting or anything when I was that age.
thinking acting first-time
I think the first time I realized I was actually acting was during Felicity. Before that, I was just going along for the ride.
kids thinking acting
I think I'm probably more passionate about acting now than when I was a kid. When I was young, I didn't know what I was doing.
thinking acting bars
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.
struggle acting world
Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.
mom impact acting
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
catalyst
She's the catalyst to get the whole story going.
time
I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time.
people places
People still take it really personally. They come up to me at breakfast places like, 'When are you growing your hair back?'
character bad-relationship thinking
I think it's quite common and realistic. There are many stories like this [in Waitress]. [Jenna, my character] marriage looks really horrible up on the screen but I think there are a lot of people in bad relationships who wake up and think to themselves: "Wow, how did I end up here? Why am I still here and so unhappy and not satisfied with my life?"
easy
I can make cookies and do easy stuff. Pies are very specific and hard to do well though.
home thinking coming-home
I tend to come home and eat a bowl of cereal. I'm not thinking about baking a pie when I'm off work.
writing creative waitress
Adrienne [ Shelly] had 100 per cent control over this movie [ Waitress] as a director. She didn't just write it, direct it and act in it, she was the creative force behind everything, from the jokes down to the expressions.
song waitress
[ Adrienne Shelly] explain exactly what she was looking for. This was her movie [Waitress].She also wrote the songs that I sing in it. She wrote everything. She chose the colour of our outfits; she designed the set of the diner. She was very, very involved at every level.
