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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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
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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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.
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
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.

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 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 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.

You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I don't have phobias. I'm pretty laid back. Nothing really bothers me. I can handle things pretty well.
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.
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
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 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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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.
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
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.
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.
