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.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them.
Winona Ryder
I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.
Winona Ryder
I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.
Winona Ryder
I don't use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it.
Winona Ryder
I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.
Winona Ryder
Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
Winona Ryder
It's interesting because First Wives Club was the first movie that made a shitload of money that starred all women over a certain age. That was a milestone that made you think, Oh, things are going to change.
Winona Ryder
You know you're getting older when they're making TV shows, sequels or plays for things that you did. It's very flattering and very humbling, indeed.
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
As an actress, you go where the stories are. I don't really care where it's seen, at this point. I just want to tell good stories and do good roles that I haven't done before.
Winona Ryder
That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.
Winona Ryder
I think I'm learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven't always felt very secure as an individual, but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before.
Winona Ryder
It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
Winona Ryder
I got to work with Gena Rowlands when I did Night on Earth, and the movie was just you and someone else in a car, you're just hanging out. There's nobody else, just a walkie-talkie. It was a night shoot, and it was only a week or ten days. But it was incredible just being in her presence.
Winona Ryder
I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
Winona Ryder
If something brilliant comes along but I really feel like it's too old for me - that I'm not gonna have the experience it takes - I'm not gonna do it. Even if it's a big mistake for my career.
Winona Ryder
My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.
Winona Ryder
I was not the first choice for Veronica in Heathers. I auditioned and they were like, Oh, thanks. And I went to the Beverly Center to Macy's and had them do a makeover on me. I went back because I kind of knew that they thought I wasn't pretty enough. They were trying to get Jennifer Connelly.
Winona Ryder
Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.
Winona Ryder
I had this big complex because I didn't go to college. There was a whole era where I got linked to everybody. People that I had never met. I was like, How? I'm home alone reading chapter 12 of a book.
