In the latest issue of Vogue British, Renée Zellweger is interviewed by her co-star who asks her why she withdrew from Hollywood from 2010 to 2016.
The two-time Oscar winner replied: ‘Because I needed it […]. I was tired of the sound of my own voice. When I was working, I said to myself: “Oh, my God, listen to yourself. Are you still sad, Renée? Oh, is that your crazy voice?”… It was a regurgitation of the same emotional experiences.”
Asked what she did during her leave, Renée Zellweger explained that she didn’t sit back and do nothing.
-She listed an impressive list of accomplishments: “I wrote music and studied international law. I built a house, I rescued two old dogs, I created a partnership that led to a production company, I advocated for and raised money for a sick friend, I spent a lot of time time with my family and my godchildren, and I drove across the country with my dogs. I got my health back.”
