“I am starstruck by children’s book authors, big time,” she revealed. “I met Marla Frazee and was just, didn’t even know what to say to her. I am starstruck by ballerinas, big time. I am starstruck…I heard this woman play the saxophone the other day, she was so amazing. I couldn’t look at her after. Just anyone who can do something that you can’t do.”

She added, “Barefoot Contessa!”

Her co-star, Maika Monroe, couldn’t help but praise Garner. The duo play mother and daughter in the new film, which focuses on their family’s move to the peaceful and wealthy suburb of Palos Verdes in Los Angeles.

“This comes from the bottom of my heart. I don’t think I’ve met a more genuine, more talented, literally, it was a hard movie for both of us. It was just, every day was a different thing, and what Jen brought to set, I have so much respect,” she confessed. “I wanna grow up to be you.”

“Oh my gosh,” Garner responded, agreeing to their emotional roles they play.

“The character is something so different from anything I’ve played before. I usually play characters who are more kind of buttoned-up than I am in real life. To play somebody who is this just coming apart at the seams was exciting, terrifying but exciting,” she said. “I went home to kids and a busy house, so I didn’t really have a choice [of whether or not to shake it off].”

The Daredevil star also talked about her first time moving to Los Angeles, confessing that she found similarities between herself and her character’s difficult adjustment at first.

“I did have a hard time leaving. I lived in New York first, and I moved out here and felt like, ‘What did I do?'” she admitted. “I really had to make the decision to be happy and figure out what the things are that I love about it here, and do them constantly. They were hiking, farmers markets, cooking, yoga… I found a few things and the work followed.”

Currently, Garner is busy preparing for the action movie, Peppermint, for which she shared her intense training on Instagram.

Garner also discussed about the significance of supporting women in the industry.

“Just keep seeking out women because we don’t get to work together very much and you have to insist on having women as part of your job life, your career – not just outside of work, but work. And if you find one, hold onto them,” she said.

“It’s your responsibility to call me if you need something, and it’s mine to say, ‘Come on up, what can I do? How can I help you?'” Garner added, addressing Monroe. “Look after the other women around you and make sure you are going around them if you need them.”

The Tribes of Palos Verdes opens in theaters on Dec. 1.

Garner, who also served as the film’s executive producer, plays a woman betrayed by her husband. Having no trouble filling her role as executive producer, she told ET at the Hamptons International Film Festival on Friday that portraying a single mom was “its own bear to get through.”

The actress who filed for divorce from her husband Ben Affleck in April spoke of what it was like to play an on-screen character who goes through a break-up, like she went through off-screen.

“Anytime that you’re playing someone who is going through something, you have to just figure it out, and you actually – believe it or  not – don’t use your own life as much as you might think,” said the actress.”You just get into that place. That’s your job, and then you shake it off, because you have to go home and raise your kids,” she explained. “It’s just like any other time I do a scene with an emotional place.”

While the 45-year-old actress played down the effort it took to film emotional scenes like the one where her character finds out her husband is cheating on her, director Emmett Malloy told ET that during that scene in particular she really “went for it.”

The Tribes of Palos Verdes opens in select theaters on December 1.
