You try to get out there and live. I've always had good friends who've been very supportive and help make me feel good and grounded because I've never felt attached to the film industry.

More quotes by Winona Ryder

Sometimes I'll watch a movie, and it's got some big star in it playing a working-class person, and the character is in a grocery store, and you can kind of tell, from just watching the scene, that this actor doesn't do their own shopping. So you have to have some sense of reality.

I'm not into wrinkles.

I'm not a big one on - I don't know what to call it - getting all glamorous. I don't really worry about my looks, and I don't worry about getting old. Exterior beauty doesn't mean a lot to me.
Winona Ryder

I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.

Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.

I remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn't go out.

Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.

I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.

It's weird because I think of movies like Reality Bites or something, where, even though my life was nothing like that, I hadn't done something contemporary for a while, and it's easier. You do try to make something your own.

I'm a really private person. I just love my work. I feel like celebrity has changed so much, in this culture. Ever since they started with those reality shows and people that aren't actors but they're really famous, it's gotten very different from when I started out. So, the idea of ever becoming more than what I had is not really what I want.

It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.

Image
For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.

Actors do these really gross, gun-'em-down movies, and I always wonder why. They're not good movies. And it's like, Why are you doing them? Aren't you rich enough?
Winona Ryder

A lot of the old movie theaters are closing down now, which is really sad. It's still in the back of my mind.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.

I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.

As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.
