More quotes by 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?

I'm a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan.

So I get all the references and I totally get the humor and it's really fun. This - it's kind of a mash up of so many different genres and things that kind of, sort of are just part of youth culture right now. Music and action and video games, and it's kind of amazing to see it all piled into one film.

To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves.

I think since I'm not particularly well-known as myself, it's funny all the different perceptions people have of me. Like, if someone's only seen me in 'Death Proof,' they think I'm sort of a ditzy girl who says stupid things and wears revealing outfits all the time.

I do want to direct, eventually. I don't know if it will be a short film or a music video or a feature, but I know that I want to at least try it and see.

I feel like most horror films are made for teenagers about teenagers. I've done a couple of those horror films. There's nothing wrong with that but the older I get the more I starve for more adult material.

You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.

I was that overachieving, annoying kid who was always trying to win some contest or win the role. I look back on it now and I'm like, Chill, man. Calm down.

Image
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
Image
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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Image
I guess I've just gotten to the point where I don't want to be bored by the characters that I play, and I don't want to feel like I'm having to make something more interesting or I'm having to force something that's not really there on the page.

You have to believe that it is what you want to do with your life and you have to be dedicated to it.

I don't think people understand when you say you are making a micro-budget film that you are getting paid no money.

Image
I think when I was 12, when, like, 'Titanic' and 'Romeo + Juliet' came out, my friends and I made our own Leonardo DiCaprio fan club. I definitely had a thing for him.

I'm not one of those actors that hates press and gets really groan-y about it - I always like talking about films.

It's just about trying to find material where I'm doing more than just being a plot device. I want to actually get to do scenes that go to interesting places and are challenging to me.

For any addict, when you get sober, life becomes more challenging, in some ways, because all of your problems become very clear and you have to deal with your pain. You can't just drink and forget about it and pretend it doesn't exist. You have to actually face it, head on.

I want to be inspired by the characters that I play and excited by the projects that I do.

Sometimes, with directors, you have to take what they say and translate it in your head, into something that makes sense to you, because you're speaking two different languages.
