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.

I'm just chatty. But I do express my opinion.

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.

I thought I was going to go back to Stanford, and then I got Election. I loved being an actor.

To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

You can learn a lot about yourself with what youre doing and who youre with on a sunday.

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.
