Reese Witherspoon Is Careful About Her Choices

Reese Witherspoon is the cover girl of this week's issue of “Entertainment Weekly”. She talks about her new film, Rendition, her politics, and making good choices. Some highlights:

On the film ‘Rendition’ in which she plays the wife of a suspected terrorist:

”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.”

On her politics and influence:

“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.”

On her film 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?”
