Mary Elizabeth Winstead
We make conscious choices to do something a certain way.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
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 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 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 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.
