7. Reese is endowed with a brilliant intellect and strong leadership qualities. She has been wise in her choice of roles thus far, picking roles that she can feel for and identify with, and declining parts offered to her in teen slasher films such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Urban Legends, as she believes that "…all that screaming and cowering and being tormented is not fulfilling".

8. “Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their LIVES. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.”
