You do the best you can. But it's hard. When I find things egregiously misrepresentative of women, I'll make a point to say to my son, Turn that off. I don't want to see women behave that way.
Reese Witherspoon
Image
I thought I knew everything about love and relationships in my 20s, the ignorance of youth is bliss. As you get older, you start to realise that you don't really know anything and life is a great traveling journey. Life is unexpected...you just never know whats going to happen.

As an artist, I feel more strongly than ever that my job on earth is to tell the stories of the invisibles, and women have been invisible on film for a long time.
Reese Witherspoon
Image
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.

I always let my husband read the script so he knows what's about to happen to his wife. When I played Cheryl Strayed in Wild, I'd get really mad about certain things, I'd say really profound things, and I'd curse out of nowhere. He'd say, Are you you, or are you Cheryl?

I don't want to discount the beautiful work that the fashion houses do, but somehow, just focusing on what you're wearing feels reductive.

Image
I love to cook comfort food. I'll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.

That said, I'd love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

Women want to see the truth. They don't want to see some perfect girl.

Everything I sang sounded awful. So I went outside and I screamed. Everyone pretty much agreed it was awful.

To be courageous , you have to have an army of people holding you.

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.

I'm encouraging these women, like Cheryl Strayed, to take the jump to writing for the screen. She is adapting her book Tiny Beautiful Things for us. They're infinitely capable of tackling the format.

Image
I'd always ask my grandma, who was so, so smart, why she didn't work, and she would explain that her parents didn't approve of her working after she had children. She didn't feel like she had choices.

There's no bad consequence to loving fully, comma with all your heart. You always gain by giving love.

I'm at a point in my life where I could make 20 more movies, but I want to make 20 more movies that matter to me.
