As an actress, producer, entrepreneur and mother, is there anything Reese Witherspoon can’t do? The Morning Show star recently chatted with Harper’s Bazaar and revealed that, at 47, she knows exactly what she wants out of life, regardless of other people’s opinions.

“I think you start to realize there’s a finite amount of time that you have to accomplish what you want to accomplish in this world and that worrying about other people’s opinions of you is a waste of your precious time,” she told the outlet. “It’s a liberation in your 40s to feel free of other people’s opinions. I mean, they’re always there. They just don’t matter as much to you, and it’s a great feeling.”
