Reese Witherspoon Tells Tracee Ellis Ross How She Conquered Hollywood

. I was so scared to do that, Tracee. I had hypnosis, I was so scared. I was having panic attacks for three weeks before I started. There was the nudity, sexuality, and drug-use aspect, but also being alone on camera with no other actors. I hadn’t ever been alone in scenes for days and days. There were probably 25 days of the shoot where I had no other actor opposite me. It was just me and a camera and a backpack.

ROSS: The reason I ask that question is because there’s so much medicine in our tears. Culturally, as women, we’re not supposed to be angry and crying is considered weak, and I disagree. For people and women who have big lives, filled with responsibilities and dreams and all of it, it’s important to allow those spaces and times when we’ve got to cry, whether it’s out of gratitude, out of discomfort, or out of grief.ROSS: I do.

WITHERSPOON: I’m passionate about what I do. I love making movies and television shows. I feel so lucky when I stand on set, and years of experience have stacked together to create this time in my life where I can really add, and I can really listen, and I can really be a problem solver, and I can always make something better. That’s such a great feeling. To feel purposeful and useful at work.

ROSS: [Laughs] I’m laughing because I do hear that and I love it. So many people don’t get to see the fullness of who they are mirrored back to them, to hear how important they are to someone or how they’ve touched another person or changed something for them. That’s been my experience with social media, but it’s one of the things about this particular career that we have, that you do get to feel that. You walk through an airport and someone tells you they loved what you did.

Gosh, was *just now* thinking about JeanMarcVALLÉE as this tweet came in. ...StarAlignment... Tomorrow is his 59th birthday ReeseW. Sigh, XO.
