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?"
character waitress great-character
I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.
character love-is thinking
I think love is a great catalyst for many characters to further the story or their own growth.
character thinking different
I think the good stories are those where the character decides to break away and do something different.
character stories intriguing
I personally adore origin stories - they're so intriguing, learning what shaped and formed a character.
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?'
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.
true-life serious kind
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.
girl mom home
You're not insulting my character. Being a woman, especially in this business, it's so thrilling to get to do that. It's so rare, especially right now the way the film industry is. If you're a girl, the part you get to play these days...because there's so many less movies made...in a good movie, if there's a girl in it, there might be a handful of scenes, and your job is to be supportive to the guy who's messed up. Be the loving rock at home, or be the good mom, or be the attractive person.
