goodness growing life
Oh, my goodness I never thought I'd be here in my whole life growing up in Tennessee.
absolutely great growing kids might time values worry
I worry about my kids growing up and how the world might hurt them. But at the same time, I absolutely do not worry about them growing up - because they have great values and a great sense of self.
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.
beginning cats enjoyed equally fight fun loved relationship reminded spencer strong
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. I love having that antagonistic relationship in the beginning, and being equally as strong as each other and bullheaded. It kind of reminded me of a Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn-type movie.
I never thought I'd be here my whole life.
finished skin
I never finished college, so I have no skills. I am here by the skin of my teeth.
culture decision far great natural playing pop time woods
I'm having a great time playing Becky, ... She's a world away from Elle Woods and for me it's a great departure. It was a natural decision for me to get as far away from American pop culture as I could.
good goodness matter means oh trying work
Oh my goodness, I never thought I'd ever be here in my whole life. I'm just trying to matter and live a good life, and doing work that means something.
biggest feeling girl incredible june obviously shake
Oh, my God, y'all. Sometimes, I can't just shake the feeling that I'm just a little girl from Tennessee. I want to say my biggest inspiration for this movie obviously was June Carter. She was an incredible woman.
hard relationship
It's hard having kids. It's hard having a job. It's hard having a relationship - for anybody.
books constant learning life study tons
And you know, life is a constant learning experience. I learn so much with my kids. I read tons of books and study what they're studying.
coaching creating music sounds
At that point, music was very organic. It wasn't about synthesizing sounds or creating a computer. It was about storytelling and interpretation and performance. There was a lot of that kind of coaching going on.
care gets husbands kids life message natural nice nurture quality sort spend spiritual taking time women wonderful
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.
grew listening music
This film is very important because it's about where I grew up, and the music I grew up listening to.
