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.

More quotes by 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.

I will say, though, that San Francisco is a very friendly city. It's the kind of place where people smile at you and you can strike up conversations on the street, so there's always an adjustment when I come back to New York. If I smile at someone on the street in New York, then they think there's something up - like, Why is she smiling?
Winona Ryder
I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.
Winona Ryder
I write pretty much every day, but I don't have any desire to publish anything.
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
I want to be a good person, and a person that people enjoy working with, 'cause I certainly enjoy working with other people.
Winona Ryder
I grew up in San Francisco. My parents were not hippies they were writers. They were very active politically, but on the intellectual side, not on the taking drugs in a field and listening to the Grateful Dead side.

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
I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.
Winona Ryder
I don't use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it.
Winona Ryder
I was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'
Winona Ryder
I remember the whole thing with the word ambition. I was messed up for a while because I associated it with certain people who just want to be famous. I think, for a while, it was kind of a dirty word for women.
Winona Ryder
I'm not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book.
Winona Ryder
It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?
Winona Ryder
The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

In the '80s, I loved the movies of the '70s. Also I remember loving Klute [1971]. I loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I auditioned for the last movie she made before she retired for a while, Stanley and Iris [1990], which Martha Plimpton got.

That first movie I did, Lucas [1986], was probably the closest to me. And Beetlejuice a little bit, in the sense that I did look like that. All they did was like put a little white powder here.
Winona Ryder
I, myself, am strange and unusual.
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
I remember realizing, when I did Little Women [1994], that that was the only time girls that age were being written about. It was always boys - from David Copperfield to Lord of the Flies to Holden Caulfield. There were never young women going through adolescence or teen years there were only little girls.
