'"I have a weird process, but the main thing is like this: I hear her voice in my head. There are a lot of wonderful scripts my agents can't believe I pass on, but I do because I can't hear the voice. It doesn't appeal to me then. I'm really careful. Unless I hear the voice, I can't do it." — Reese Witherspoonhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000702/bio

"I'm always endlessly surprised about the people who come into my life, who I get to collaborate with. I feel really overwhelmed by those opportunities. But it's not like I fell off the turnip truck and suddenly became who I am. I really have worked hard for it, and I have to acknowledge that." — Reese Witherspoonhttp://www.rd.com/face-to-face-with-reese-witherspoon/article18040-3.html
