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.

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 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.

I found my way into the indie world a bit late in my career, but it was something that I was really passionate about doing.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead

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

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?
