Quotes » Reese & the Cast/Crew

• Reese Witherspoon – “I feel thrilled to be part of it. I was desperate to play June Carter Cash. I would have crawled on hands and knees halfway to Memphis to play her. Partly because I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, so country music is just part of my heritage and upbringing. It’s in my blood.”
• Reese Witherspoon – “It’s been so hard, it’s been really, really one of the hardest movies I’ve ever had to make. I had to do four months of rehearsals. I had to learn to play autoharp. I had to take singing lessons. I had to record an album, which was the most challenging, horrifying experience of my life. Me singing in front of people while they’re listening to me is just horrifying. And it gets exponentially horrifying when extras show up and have to watch you and you have to pretend you’re at a concert and singing and they like it.”
• John Carter Cash – “Reese is adorable. She’s great. I got to spend some time with her, and she’s just a wonderful angel. I believe that she’s doing an excellent job as my mother.”
