In my current issue of EW, one of my favorite actresses Reese Witherspoon dishes about love, fame and her new role in the 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?”
