More quotes by Winona Ryder
I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
Winona Ryder
Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
Winona Ryder
All we want is to be treated like human beings, and not to be patronized, or experimented on like guinea pigs.
Winona Ryder
A woman who wears high heels is very different, I think, than a woman who wears sandals.
Winona Ryder
Money doesn't matter on a deeply personal level. It doesn't make you feel any happier. But of course I am very aware that I don't have to worry about earning a living or about those very important practical things that most people have to worry about on a very real level.
Winona Ryder
When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.
Winona Ryder
I remember when I was doing Mermaids [1990], I was 16 and they gave me a B12 shot once. My parents weren't there, and when they did come, they freaked out. They were terrified, because of the Judy Garland stories. I know it's just vitamin B, but it did give you a boost.
Winona Ryder
I love Texas. Even if I am a little bit famous or a little bit popular... You go to places where you're not and just live like everybody else lives. I'm not crazy about this country in terms of the shape it's in, but I do think there are lots of great pieces to go to. I think I should take advantage of it while this country still exists.
Winona Ryder
I remember being 18, and my first boyfriend said to me, Unless you're in the room, you don't know if it's true. We were talking about gossip.
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
You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.
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
Dear Diary: My teen angst bullshit now has a body count.
Winona Ryder
What's great is my parents aren't stuck in the '60s. My dad is so into the culture of today.
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.
Winona Ryder
It would be great if teenagers could make movies. It's sad how some writers think they can write about stuff they don't understand.
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
Certainly with The Crucible, what I love is that every role in that is so crucial.But there's something almost comic. I remember there's that line where she says, I am 18 and a woman, however single, which killed me every time!
Winona Ryder
In retrospect, I went to Jane Fonda for literally everything. During Mermaids, we were staying in the same building, so she was right upstairs from me. I was in my first relationship, so I got all sorts of advice. She became famous in her late teens.
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
