More quotes by Reese Witherspoon
Even people that know Johnny Cash's music really well and know that he was married don't really know that much about June Carter. So finding out about her really helped to inform my performance and to bring her to the front in a way that she has never been before.

It definitely sometimes feels like a suit that I wish I could zip off. But I don’t feel bad about any of the things I’ve gone through, whether it’s divorce or breakups or anything like that, because that’s all part of the life journey, and I have those experiences just like anyone else. And I think it deepens what you tap into creatively.
Reese Witherspoon
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.

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?
Reese Witherspoon
I thought I was going to go back to Stanford, and then I got Election. I loved being an actor.
Reese Witherspoon
It's fun chasing boys, especially when you're young, but I think it takes time and life experience to notice the other boys.
Reese Witherspoon
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.
Reese Witherspoon
I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
Reese Witherspoon
Is it more fascinating, perplexing, unbelievable that women are entrepreneurs?
Reese Witherspoon
No one can sing like June Carter so I just tried to sing my very best.
Reese Witherspoon
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
Growing up in the South, it was very patriarchal. When I applied to Stanford, I was told by a [male] college counselor, You're never gonna get in, don't bother. They don't want you. I said, I'm going to try. And I got in! But I wouldn't be the woman I am if I hadn't had that conflict to overcome. It has given me an underdog feeling all my
