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.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.
Winona Ryder
Suddenly you're the mom, or you go from ... You're not an ingénue, you don't want to play an ingénue, but it's like that line in The First Wives Club [1996]: There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
Winona Ryder
Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.
Winona Ryder
I, myself, am strange and unusual.
Winona Ryder
I was never strategic really, but back when I was starting out no one cared. In the acting community, box office didn't matter. I really think it was a mistake when they started paying people like $20 million to do a movie because now it's all people think about. Is she worth it? Is he worth it?
Winona Ryder
It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.
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
Break-ups are hard for anybody, but it's particularly tough when it's being documented and you see the person's picture everywhere. Most people don't have that added problem when they break up with someone.
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
In high school, I dressed up as every James Bond girl. I was a teenage Pussy Galore.
Winona Ryder
I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.
Winona Ryder
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.
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 think that as actresses - and I've definitely gone through this in a really bizarre way, because I worked so much and was really lucky with the roles that I got when I was younger - I remember hearing the older actors saying, It gets tough, and thinking, Really? I can't imagine.
Winona Ryder
I feel my best when I'm happy.
Winona Ryder
I've recommended girls for jobs that I had a different part in, and agents have been like, No, don't ...It's so surprising to me.
Winona Ryder
I was raised to believe that religion is a beautiful thing, but it's fiction.
Winona Ryder
My problems seemed so glamorous to other people, and everyone just thought I was so lucky. But then, I was lucky because my family was really there for me. I think I just felt like I really wanted to hold on to who I was as a person, and try to have as much of a normal life as I could.
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
You're lucky if you're in three great movies, or even one great movie. I've been so lucky. But if you rely on the business to dictate whether you're happy, it gets really complicated. You just can't do that. There have been times in my life that I've done that, and I've found it depressing.
