Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
Listen,
I
did
not
want
to
do
jury
duty.
But
I
remember
it
was
probably
seven
years
after
‘Legally
Blonde,’
I
got
called
for
jury
duty
and
it
was
in
Beverly
Hills.
I
thought,
‘Surely
they’re
not
gonna
pick
me.’
They
picked
me
for
a
long
trial,
y’all.
It
was
probably
two
weeks.
It
was
two
solid
weeks
every
day
going
in.
And
then
we
went
to
deliberation
and
so
at
the
very
end
they
say,
‘Okay,
well
somebody
in
this
group
has
to
be
the
foreman.’
And
they
all
unanimously
are
like,
‘Her.’
They
were
like,
‘You
went
to
law
school.’
I
was
like,
‘Y’all
this
is
really
upsetting.
I
definitely
did
not
go
to
law
school,
I
didn’t
finish
college.’
I
played
a
lawyer
in
a
movie
once
but
they
fully
made
me
the
foreman
and
I
started
realizing…
people
don’t
know
much
about
the
law.

film
franchise,

an
appearance
on
“The
Graham
Norton
Show,”
where
she
spoke
about
her
experience
serving
as
a
jury
foreperson
with
a
group
who
mistakenly
believed
that
she
was
a
real
lawyer
who
had
attended
law
school
thanks
to
her
acting
roles.
