“She’s so kind, and so driven and incredibly intelligent. She’s all of these qualities of what it means to be a fantastic filmmaker and actress and leader. She made everyone feel so comfortable and safe to create. She’s also just so brilliant, which goes without saying – she’s Reese Witherspoon, you know,” Jade told InLove magazine.

She continued, “She’s just such a beautiful person. Every time she talked to anyone on set, you couldn’t help but feel warm. When she was performing, and you were performing with her, you felt like you were performing WITH her, and that was so important. She’s a very generous human being. She’s nothing but inspiring.”
