More quotes by 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
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
I'm a huge Paul Thomas Anderson fan.
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
We make conscious choices to do something a certain way.
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
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 love anybody who's willing to stick to their own vision, their own voice, who's not easily swayed by money or by financers who are going to tell them what they should do.
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 think a lot of fans immediately go, 'ugggh' when they hear that someone is doing a prequel or a remake, they sort of assume the worst sometimes.
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 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 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.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Which is so important, I mean, that's what's so great about the books, is, you know, those two worlds are sort of, the slacker world of just comedy and laziness and then this crazy, over the top action, supernatural world, and you know, combined.
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
Usually a lot of moviemaking is boring.
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
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 remember when Pulp Fiction came out. I was, like, 10 years old. But I remember the impact that it had.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.
