From the New York Times, this is the interview.

I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.

In a pretty house on a quiet street in Nashville last month, I met an adorable French bulldog

named Minnie Pearl. I met Minnie's mom too, are you getting nice crap? I'm lucky. I've got long nails today.

I met Minnie's mom, too, also known as Reese Witherspoon, who sadly took Minnie away before

she sat down to talk.

She wanted me to put her in the other room and snorkel.

And there is a lot to talk about.

Witherspoon is in her creative prime right now.

There's a new season of the morning show on Apple TV Plus, which she stars in and also co-executive

produces.

She's also written a new book with Harlan Coben, a thriller about a surgeon who gets swept

up in international intrigue, publishing next month.

But as she told me, her true passion

these days is Hello Sunshine, the production company she founded. The company which focuses on

stories by and for women has been a producer for shows like Big Little Lies and Daisy Jones in the

Six. Witherspoon sold it for almost a billion dollars back in 2021, but she's still deeply involved

in its day-to-day operations, and she's the face of its massively popular book club, too.

In our wide-ranging and candid conversation, she reminisced about her early days in Hollywood

as a young mother, the professional slump she faced after winning an Oscar,

becoming a boss, and how she's navigating the turbulent environment in Hollywood these days.

Here's my conversation with Reese Witherspoon.
