I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.

More quotes by 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
If a film is well made, then great, whatever it's about.
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
I was very obsessed with Ruth Gordon. I really didn't foresee me having any type of career as a leading lady at all because it was just blonds. I just wasn't the type - I was told that by casting directors. I auditioned for Running on Empty [1988] and The Mosquito Coast [1986], and Martha Plimpton was just killing me.
Winona Ryder
Remember, I'm the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I've never felt like I'm a big star at any level of my life.
Winona Ryder
I would love to someday do a play. I did one when I was very young in San Francisco, where I grew up. A girl can dream.

It's just people should realize that the celebrity aspect of being an actor is very rarely enjoyable for people like me who would always rather go unnoticed and disappear into the crowd.
Winona Ryder
As an actress, you want to try new things. You don't want to repeat yourself. That becomes more important to you, as you get older.
Winona Ryder
Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.
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 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
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 go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.
Winona Ryder
I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.
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
You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.
Winona Ryder
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 was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'
Winona Ryder
I approached work very seriously. I never went out. I couldn't fathom people who could go out to clubs... But I definitely went through a time where I was just terrified and exhausted and I didn't really understand. Hollywood... It just got to be too much for me.
