More quotes by 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
Is it more fascinating, perplexing, unbelievable that women are entrepreneurs?
Reese Witherspoon
God, America is a country predicated on listening to everybody. When did we stop listening to one another?
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

It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.
Reese Witherspoon
Exploring female rage on film doesn't frighten me - it might frighten a lot of people in my business, but, gosh, I know a lot about that, from personal experience and friends' experiences.
Reese Witherspoon
I had parents who believed I could do anything - and I know how that made me feel. I think both my parents, having careers in the medical profession, feel they are helping people on a daily basis, and that was inculcated in me as a value. I had to struggle with giving up the idea of becoming a doctor myself.
Reese Witherspoon
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
I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.
Reese Witherspoon
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
But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.
Reese Witherspoon
Women want to see the truth. They don't want to see some perfect girl.
Reese Witherspoon
I played a lawyer in a movie so many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.
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
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
Your body is just a vessel for who you are as a person. And until you work on what you give back to the world, it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside.
Reese Witherspoon
I love that people are going, Yeah, I love a hundred different kinds of beauty it's not all the tall, skinny supermodel. Around the world, we have to find the beauty. Now more than ever, we're looking.
Reese Witherspoon
One honest voice is louder than a crowd.
Reese Witherspoon
I believe ambition is not a dirty word. It's just believing in yourself and your abilities. Imagine this: What would happen if we were all brave enough to be a little bit more ambitious? I think the world would change.
Reese Witherspoon
I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I'm more womanly. I feel sexier.
Reese Witherspoon
