She certainly has a flair for the dramatic! Either that, or she had a legitimate nervous breakdown!

Reese Witherspoon braved the rain in NYC today, and while she looked beautiful, what caught our attention was her recent Glamour magazine interview where she talked about cherishing her female pals, what she's learned from relationships, and her marriage to husband Jim Toth.

On her girlfriends:
    "I am so, so lucky to have girlfriends who, when I was on the floor crying, upset about things that happened in my life, came over, stood me up, put me in the shower, put my clothes on, took my kids to school, brought me dinner. You know? I love my girlfriends, and I protect those relationships fiercely."


On finding true love with husband Jim Toth:
    "Well, I have to say a very healing part of my life is my wonderful husband, Jim. It’s really wonderful being with somebody who supports me, who loves me, who is my number-one fan. That is such an incredible experience. You have to be ready for those things. I had to be in a place where I felt all those things about myself."


On finding her own happiness:
    "I don’t think I realized [in my twenties] that no one else makes you whole. You have to take responsibility for your own happiness. That took me until I was about 31 to know. It wasn’t easy to realize, Oh wait, I am purely responsible [for my life]—no relationship, no children, no nothing is going to make you a happy person. Every day you have to choose to find and cultivate your own happiness."


On her priorities shifting after having children:
    "I don’t think there’s been an hour of my life since Ava was born that I don’t think of my kids,” she said. “I call it my CNN ticker tape: Is Ava OK? Yes. Is Deacon OK? Yes. Is Tennessee OK? Yes. Back to Ava."


This Southern belle sounds like she's got it all figured out!
