More quotes by 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.

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!

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?

My first paying job was guest starring in 'Touched By An Angel' when I was 12. It was very exciting. I couldn't believe you got free food all day and people were so nice to you.
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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I realized that the people weren't just characters but they were people and they were getting to do something that was so fun and I wanted to be a part of it.

I'm not one of those actors that hates press and gets really groan-y about it - I always like talking about films.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
To me it's so much like Spaced in that way. Um, which I love so much, so I think fans of that and fans of the comics are going to really see that up on the screen.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I don't think people understand when you say you are making a micro-budget film that you are getting paid no money.
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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
You have to believe that it is what you want to do with your life and you have to be dedicated to it.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
If you let too many cooks in the kitchen it could cloud your vision of what you want to do.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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.
