Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
Even though I never really had to pound the pavement as an actor, I always worked really hard. But, at the same time, I always felt like people thought that I didn't have to struggle even though I was struggling.
Winona Ryder
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.
Winona Ryder
Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.
Winona Ryder
I've read the Bible. I think the Bible's a great book, but it's a novel. It's beautifully written and la-di-da, but people really took it the wrong way.
Winona Ryder
When I met Johnny, I was pure virgin. He changed that. He was my first everything. My first real kiss. My first real boyfriend. My first fiancé. The first guy I had sex with. So he'll always be in my heart. Forever. Kind of funny that word.
Winona Ryder
I feel my best when I'm happy.
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
Weird people follow you in the streets, you can't sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.
Winona Ryder
Life's short, so if you're going to spend months doing something, it's gotta be pretty special... But I'm very happy to enter my Baby Jane years, and hopefully segue into the Ruth Gordon years.
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 love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
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
My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.
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
I'm not a drug user myself. I'm too little to take drugs - my body can't take it.
Winona Ryder
I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.
Winona Ryder
I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.
Winona Ryder
You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
Winona Ryder
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.
