Reese Is More Than Just A Good Southern Girl

Reese and Deacon were hand in hand shopping in LA over the weekend. Said it before, say it again, Deacon is going to be such a heart breaker when he grows up. Love it. Reese always seems like she is a great mom, probably more than a little bit because she was raised with real values. During her press junket for Rendition she recently talked to The Times of London about getting things done herself and how no one ever expects her to be able to. She said:

  • On feeling underestimated: “I honestly don’t know where that comes from. As a child, I made great grades in school and had some friends – not a lot of friends, but a significant number – and, I don’t know, I’ve always felt this need to accomplish and push myself further. And I don’t feel like people really have any idea what I am capable of.”
  • On doing things herself: “I don’t ever rest on anyone’s ideas of what they’re going to do for me – I never have,” she says. “My mother impressed that on me at a very early age. If you want something done, do it yourself. I have operated under that sensibility for a very long time.”

At this point, the world should know that Reese is capable of a great many things. I'd say hopefully she'll instill the desire to be self-proficient in those adorable little kids of hers, but something tells me she already has.
