You know, we're not on stage, we're not doing a play, so we don't have a relationship with the audience but going through that process and also just hearing how much people love the film, you feel like you do have a relationship with the audience.

I spend a lot of time at my son's school and I really wanted to do a movie that the kids could see. The good thing about being my age and not having to be the ingenue anymore is that I get to be a mom. I get to have kids in my movies.

The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I’m in diamonds.

I always tell actors, “Don’t think of it as unemployment when you don’t have a job. You have to think of it as being in preparation for your next job.” You have to be always preparing for success.

Our audience is all the girls who made Britney a huge star. Those are the girls who bought the book. I didn’t read the book at first. I read the script just to see what I would think of the script and I really liked it.

In animation, there’s silly things I get to do with my voice. I get to have a wider range, so my voice gets to dance more than it does on camera.

When I was growing up, the really, really cool super heroes were all male – so I wanted to be them.

It’s almost like I get to be more theatrical when I work in voiceover.

I love when I get to play these characters that are bigger than life. There are roles in animation that I never get to do in real life – and it appeals to my ego as an actor to play the Queen of Everything. I admit it.

I love Keri Russell. I watched every episode of Felicity, and Waitress is my favorite film. I like her voice a lot – it didn’t surprise me that she would be doing voiceover work.
