«It also contains a nice spiritual message about how important it is to nurture yourself. Women are great at taking care of their husbands, kids and the dog. But they don't take a moment for themselves. I liked the 'It's a Wonderful Life' quality to this film where a woman gets to see how she helped everyone around her, but not herself.»

«My family has been thankfully fine, ... We live in Tennessee. But we have many extended family members, friends, that are dealing with some pretty difficult things.

«[Even today, after a bit of mild prodding, Witherspoon can accurately demonstrate Carter Cash's signature ways of keeping time to the music - foot-stomping hillbilly clogging moves or an exaggerated, stiff-armed style of clapping. She analyzed Carter Cash's penchant for accentuating her tiny waist by wearing tight corsets and big, puffy skirts.

It was like he sparked the acknowledgment of her sexuality. She began using her femininity to express the songs.»
