Reese Witherspoon Covers Elle
Reese Witherspoon covers the October issue of Elle magazine,in stands this week.
Here are the highlights of her interview:
Reese on her break-up with Ryan Phillippe:
“Right around Christmas-time I was sitting in a parking lot and I felt like I just couldn’t get out of the car. It was like, I can’t get out of the car. … There’s this moment in Walk the Line where June Carter says, ‘I was never aware of how much I was seen.’ I was very aware of how much I was seen. It was this moment of self-discovery and loss of identity and who was stepping out of the car — you know? Who is that person? Should I not be this honest?”
Reese on being fun:
“I’m fun. I can be really fun. I can tell we’d have a lot of fun if the tape was off.”
Reese on fashion:
“I don’t go in too much for the fashion stuff because I’ve got other stuff to do. But I do appreciate people who love what they do and work hard on it.”
Reese on winning her Oscar:
“It made me realize how much I have it all! It’s real purty on my bookcase. Everybody that comes to my house, I say, ‘You can touch it, but you have to give a speech.’”
Reese on her fear of water:
“Do you ever have those dreams where you’re drowning and nobody’s helping you? And people are just standing on the bank watching you drown? Not really fun-ny! I remember three occasions where my mother dove into a pool to save a child that was drowning. Watching children by the pool…I have nightmares.”
