I traveled all over the South looking for factories - to keep production in the South. I wanted to give back to the place and people that raised me.

More quotes by Reese Witherspoon
Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their LIVES. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.
Reese Witherspoon
We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It's a lovely place to be, but it's not extravagant.
Reese Witherspoon
I'm lucky to find a person to share my life, and the best friend I'll ever have.
Reese Witherspoon
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'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.
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.
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
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
Everything I sang sounded awful. So I went outside and I screamed. Everyone pretty much agreed it was awful.
Reese Witherspoon
There's no bad consequence to loving fully, comma with all your heart. You always gain by giving love.
Reese Witherspoon
I'm trying to make it cool to be a good girl.
Reese Witherspoon
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.
Reese Witherspoon
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.
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
Every day you have to choose and cultivate your own happiness.
Reese Witherspoon
There's something timeless and important about making people laugh, about being the right spot in their day.
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
The truth is... I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart... and I never really got it back.
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
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.
