More quotes by Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I've always been a huge fan of 'The Shining,' and 'Rosemary's Baby' is one of my favorite films of all time.

I'm a really cautious person, so I don't let myself get into near-death experiences. I'm not into the idea of skydiving or anything.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
The older I get, the more I'm drawn to the smaller films, but I still hope to keep bigger films in my repertoire. It's just maybe going to be a shift in focus, but I'll definitely still hopefully be kicking around in those.

So, they have the same vibe of like that fun kind of spirit, but this one's a lot more serious. It's like, get it done, get it done right, you know? It's got to be perfect. We definitely do lots of takes on this.

It's always been a lot of fun for me, just to be in films that people see and they connect to, big or small. The big ones tend to reach a wider audience, so it's exciting to feel like you've got fans in countries, all over the world, who are watching what you're doing. That's really great!
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I feel like it's so, sort of representative of a generation. I mean everything that they talk about in the books are things that I get. Even like a lot of the Canadian references because I've worked in Canada a lot, so I totally know Sloan and I know, you know, all this stuff, and meeting Chris Murphy was really cool, and yeah, everything.

I'm a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I can't say I was much of a gamer growing up or that I am now, but I'm certainly part of that culture or it's part of, you know, the sort of time that I grew up in.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
The more I work the happier I am.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
You do sometimes have to work on things where you love the cast and you love the filmmaker, and the role might not be great but it's fun. I'm totally down to do those things, and will continue to do those things, as well, but it at least has to be peppered with roles that are really interesting and that are hard.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I'm a fan of films in general I mean, I don't think I've ever considered myself specifically a horror fan even though I do enjoy horror films, find them really entertaining.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
It's surprising to a lot of people because ballerinas look so long, but it's more of a proportion thing. Their legs are long in proportion to their body but in reality they're very tiny.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I found my way into the indie world a bit late in my career, but it was something that I was really passionate about doing.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I think there need to be more female action heroines out there that are intelligent and not overly masculine and things like that so Id love to find - and real too. Not necessarily the superhero perfect archetype of what an action hero is represented as a lot of times. I would love to find that kind of action heroine role to play.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
It was my life, playing Juliet. From that moment on I was convinced I was going to be an actress. That was all I really wanted to do.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I think thinking about becoming an adult, and having to face up to your problems and face up to your insecurities, is difficult for everybody.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I've never worn incredible clothes - I'm not used to playing someone so put together and fashionable.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I think for most actors, because we sort of have to tell ourselves this, we always say, 'Oh, it doesn't mean anything to win an Oscar!' It certainly isn't a goal that you want to set yourself up for, because then you're just setting yourself up for disaster. Because how many people actually win an Oscar?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I don't have any premonitions. I don't have any supernatural powers. I just have a typical woman's intuition, and I go with that.
