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.
mom succeed tough
You don't get to be the bad mom and still succeed at your job and be tough. It's such a good job because it's so rare. It's a really rare job.
mom dad kgb
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.
mom selfish motherhood
You instantly become less selfish. You can't be the biggest person in the world anymore-they are. [Motherhood] really grounds you.
mom nice balance
I like getting to be in the adult world a little bit and then getting to be in the mom world and cook dinners. And, for me, that balance is what makes it nice.
mom impact acting
Anything that opens you up emotionally is going to impact your acting. Parenthood, becoming a mom, certainly does that.
mom growing-up thinking
I don't think I ate a green vegetable until I was 30. I didn't grow up with a mom who enforced that at all.
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.
