My kids make me laugh every day. And they're so supportive. As I get older, they understand those things I worried about - the guilt of being gone - in a way that's so healing for me, when they say, Mom, we know you love what you do. We love to watch you do what you do.
Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon
Women want to see the truth. They don't want to see some perfect girl.
Reese Witherspoon
Do I need men? I don't think it's about needing men. It's about love.
Reese Witherspoon
I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.
Reese Witherspoon
Everything I sang sounded awful. So I went outside and I screamed. Everyone pretty much agreed it was awful.
Reese Witherspoon
I have a history, a long history of being stereotyped as a five-foot-two woman, which is very limiting. I've worked so hard to create characters that have dignity. And I think everybody knows that I have a very pro-woman message in my work - and in my life.
