I was debating whether to do Legally Blonde, and I saw this interview with Gloria Steinem about how important Goldie Hawn's role in Private Benjamin was for women; by the end of the movie, the character socked her fiancรฉ in the face at the altar because he didn't understand who she'd become through her journey. I was like, "I feel like Gloria Steinem told me to do Legally Blonde. That's how Elle Woods is too!"
Reese WitherspoonI 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 WitherspoonMy husband is my biggest supporter on earth. He encourages me to put myself out in the world in ways that feel scary, and he's like, "I'm always gonna catch you. I'm always gonna be there for you." My supportive mother and family. Honey, it's such a village.
Reese WitherspoonIt definitely sometimes feels like a suit that I wish I could zip off. But I donโt feel bad about any of the things Iโve gone through, whether itโs divorce or breakups or anything like that, because thatโs 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 WitherspoonI'm definitely happy with the way my career has gone, the success; but I even feel glad that I've experienced some failure in my life. That gives you perspective and humility about this business; it's good to realize that you're always just one movie away from not being in Vogue anymore.
