trying our-family turns
I've been through really trying experiences personally, and your family is who you turn to.
life want matter
I'm at a point in my life where I could make 20 more movies, but I want to make 20 more movies that matter to me.
good-life mean trying
I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.
movement hollywood dresses
This is a movement to say we're more than just our dresses. ... It's hard being a woman in Hollywood or any industry.
voice crowds honest
One honest voice is louder than a crowd.
running love-is people
I'm not a politician, She says evenly. If I want to be one, I'll run for office. Susan Sarandon, whom I know and love, is a fantastic actress. It's her right as an American to say whatever she wants. [But] just because you're rich and famous doesn't qualify you to make political statements. I don't put my opinions out there to influence people. You have alot of influence. And sometimes I feel it's undeserved influence.
june singing carter
No one can sing like June Carter so I just tried to sing my very best.
movie humility careers
I'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.
heart long alabama
The truth is... I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart... and I never really got it back.
character thinking two
I have a history, a long history of being stereotyped as a five-foot-two woman, which is very limiting. I've worked so hard to create characters that have dignity. And I think everybody knows that I have a very pro-woman message in my work - and in my life.
memories way painful
I have a good memory for certain things. And a very short memory for painful things - that's my favorite Martha Stewart quote, by the way.
growing-up college feelings
Growing up in the South, it was very patriarchal. When I applied to Stanford, I was told by a [male] college counselor, "You're never gonna get in, don't bother. They don't want you." I said, "I'm going to try." And I got in! But I wouldn't be the woman I am if I hadn't had that conflict to overcome. It has given me an underdog feeling all my life.
fashion actors starting
You know, I used to not understand fashion, a lot of it, but I completely understood being a playwright or a screenwriter and suddenly having an actor say your words and making them come to life. That I can understand. Finally, I'm starting to understand this.
song couple writing
And I think Taylor Swift is just an exemplary young lady. It's kind of interesting to see what a profound songwriter she is. I don't even think anyone has realized, the long term is going to be the bigger revelation. It's incredible how quickly she writes songs. We've hung out a couple times, we live near each other in Nashville.
