When I look up and see a star, I know my mom is there. She's with me all the time. It's a powerful connection.

My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.

I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, 'Wow, that's a really wonderful man.'

Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.

Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.

I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.
