There's material that I read that I fall in love with, and I always get a little bit sad because I know that, when I fall in love with it, almost everyone else is falling in love with that same piece. Getting the crack at doing that thing that, in my soul, I know I have to do it, that's the role.

I don't know why, but in my career and in my life, I often find myself in situations where I am the only girl among boys.

I have to be honest, I am a true jeans and t-shirt girl.

My career has been successful, but it's been a grind of hard work.

Someone once told me that the most dynamic actors are people who have stories. People who have lived life. People with experiences.

I'm a very cerebral person and I like to do my homework and break it down. I like to feel like I did my due diligence. It's a confidence factor for me, as an actor.

Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.
