Reese Witherspoon June Quotations

I started working on trying to sound like June from the very beginning.

Even people that know Johnny Cash's music really well and know that he was married don't really know that much about June Carter. So finding out about her really helped to inform my performance and to bring her to the front in a way that she has never been before.

To play June, I had an immediate connect with her background and culture. We grew up with the same religion and shared a lot of the same values of family and spirituality. But I was really so inspired by what a modern woman she was.

June Carter had a long heritage of just being the spokesperson for country music and the face of country music.

June Carter used to say, 'I'm just trying to matter'. And I know what she means. I'm just trying to matter and make work that means something.

People used to ask June how she was doing, and she would say I'm just trying to matter. I know what she means.

Oh, my God, y'all. Sometimes, I can't just shake the feeling that I'm just a little girl from Tennessee. I want to say my biggest inspiration for this movie obviously was June Carter. She was an incredible woman.

No one can sing like June Carter so I just tried to sing my very best.
