It's not OK'.” (Reese Witherspoon) [fight/start/women/women]
• “I loved the beginning where we get to fight like cats and dogs. We had so much fun doing that! Well, I don't know if he enjoyed it as much as I did.

It kind of reminded me of a Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn-type movie.” (Reese Witherspoon) [fight/love/being]
• “This one just had a really nice spiritual message about how important it is to nurture yourself. I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out. So I like that quality and I like that sort of Wonderful Life quality where she gets to see her life for what it was and go back and have another opportunity.” (Reese Witherspoon) [nice/think/women/take]
• “[And his leading lady echoes that observation.] American men don't want to do comedy that makes them look silly or less masculine, ... But he has no fear. He throws himself into things.

All you can do is pray, you know?” (Reese Witherspoon) [family/family/people/defense]
• “[Unlike Carter Cash, who was drafted into the family business at a young age, Ms. Witherspoon was a child model and actress by choice.

You have to be very adult, businesslike, professional and then have a colorful and childlike personality when you're performing. It's definitely a formative experience.” (Reese Witherspoon) [family/business/age/child]

• “Hey, don't put that glass on the table without a coaster. Haven't I taught you better?” (Reese Witherspoon)
• “[Even today, after a bit of mild prodding, Witherspoon can accurately demonstrate Carter Cash's signature ways of keeping time to the music - foot-stomping hillbilly clogging moves or an exaggerated, stiff-armed style of clapping. She analyzed Carter Cash's penchant for accentuating her tiny waist by wearing tight corsets and big, puffy skirts. One thing Witherspoon learned from studying the tapes is when her appearance softened.] Once she started performing with John, ... her hair came down, was longer, and she was wearing more flowing dresses. It was like he sparked the acknowledgment of her sexuality. She began using her femininity to express the songs.” (Reese Witherspoon) [signature/time/music/literary style]
