In the current issue of Entertainment Weekly, Reese Witherspoon talks love, life and about her new political drama ‘Rendition.’
Reese on ‘Rendition’: ”It doesn’t smash people over the head with a message — you’re not even sure if the husband is innocent or guilty — which is one of the reasons I wanted to do it. ‘It represents different cultures in a real human way.”
Reese on politics: “Actors have this influence — people ask about our clothes and things like that. I don’t want my politics to become part of that. It’s personal to me.”
Reese on the role fame plays in her movie choices: “I’ve been to those marketing meetings where they talk about your approval ratings, who likes you and who doesn’t. But I don’t pay them much attention. The way I choose things is not that studied. I just try to make films that make me feel good. Honestly, nothing has really changed. I still feel like I did when I first left my parents’ house. I’m still not sure what I can afford. I still call up my accountant if I want to rent a beach house for a weekend. I’ll call and ask him, ‘Can I afford that?”
