Reese Witherspoon has said that she thinks it is important for actors to have other interests.

The 34-year-old Oscar winner insisted that it is not enough to just have a movie career.

She told Total Film: “I like to take classes, I read a lot – I have a lot of interests so your whole life isn’t just about making movies. That’s a dangerous place to be.”

Witherspoon went on to say that while she admires actresses such as Meryl Streep, she thinks spending time with her 11-year-old daughter Ava and 7-year-old son Deacon is more important than constantly focussing on her movie projects.

She explained: “As an actress, it would be lovely to think that we’re all Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton who just works endlessly but that’s not true.

“It’s important to cultivate a personal life that makes you just as happy as your professional life and I work really hard on that. I spend time with my kids and my girlfriends. It’s important to enrich yourself in lot of different ways.”

Reese Witherspoon Shops for Wedding Dress

Reese Witherspoon, 35, is in a wedding dress whirl. After her engagement to Jim Toth hit the celeb channels last December, Reese began a shopping frenzy, including a trip to Paris to visit hot designer spots such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton. An elegant wedding requires a lot of fancy, designer stuff, after all.

But, reports US magazine, yesterday (Sunday) she couldn’t resist a visit to that LA mecca, Melrose Avenue, where she checked out Monique Lhuillier’s famous boutique to the stars. That’s where Carrie Underwood’s fabulous wedding dress was recently created. Will Reese Witherspoon’s be next? There is no word, yet, on whether a selection was made, and the actual date is still up in the air.

The shopping trip took Reese away from a special, casual weekend where she and Jim celebrated their one-year-together anniversary. They took in a rock concert Saturday night and just generally hung out together. Maybe a preview of married life?
