If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
Winona Ryder
I don't have anything left to offer in the teen-angst area. I've done it every way I know how.
Winona Ryder
The fact that I got into acting at all was kind of fluke-ish. I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.
Winona Ryder
I was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'
Winona Ryder
It’s equally as important to me to be a good friend, and a good sister, and a good daughter. I’m very close with my family and friends.
Winona Ryder
It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future.
Winona Ryder
I was mid-sentence when the casting director said, Listen, kid. You should not be an actress. You are not pretty enough. You should go back to wherever you came from and you should go to school. You don't have it. She was very blunt - I honestly think that she thought she was doing me a favor.
Winona Ryder
I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.
Winona Ryder
It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.
Winona Ryder
In retrospect, I went to Jane Fonda for literally everything. During Mermaids, we were staying in the same building, so she was right upstairs from me. I was in my first relationship, so I got all sorts of advice. She became famous in her late teens.
Winona Ryder
I'm not interested in playing the girl that's just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.
Winona Ryder
I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.
Winona Ryder
I write pretty much every day, but I don't have any desire to publish anything.
Winona Ryder
In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.
Winona Ryder
I really lucked out in terms of how my parents encouraged me to develop my own personality so I didn't just feel incredibly insecure and like I didn't fit in.
Winona Ryder
I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.
Winona Ryder
But I've always felt a need to have a life which is completely separate - at least as far as possible - from the kind of illusory lifestyle that comes with being a celebrity.
Winona Ryder
I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
Winona Ryder
I'm not a drug user myself. I'm too little to take drugs - my body can't take it.
Winona Ryder
My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.
