More quotes by Winona Ryder
One of my friends committed suicide when I was in high school, and it's the most tragic thing anybody can go through.
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
I'm very attached to movie theaters and I love going to them. Nothing will ever replace that. It's very romantic and beautiful. I used to want to live inside of one, with a bathtub, a bike and a bed, and just watch movies.
Winona Ryder
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.
Winona Ryder
I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.
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
A woman who wears high heels is very different, I think, than a woman who wears sandals.
Winona Ryder
If you're a musician, you can practice your guitar every day and write songs, but when you're an actor, you can't just like burst into a monologue. Your only exercise is when you're in prep or you're working.
Winona Ryder
You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
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
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.
Winona Ryder
If a film is well made, then great, whatever it's about.
Winona Ryder
I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.
Winona Ryder
I think it's really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.
Winona Ryder
I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.
Winona Ryder
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
Somehow I was invited to visit with Audrey Hepburn. I had this afternoon with her, and she gave me a couple things. She was so gracious and everything you would think that she would be.
Winona Ryder
In retrospect, I think maybe Audrey Hepburn was going to talk to me about doing something for UNICEF. I was so overwhelmed to just even be in her presence and I was very young, but it was really special and unforgettable.
Winona Ryder
I'm not a big one on - I don't know what to call it - getting all glamorous. I don't really worry about my looks, and I don't worry about getting old. Exterior beauty doesn't mean a lot to me.
Winona Ryder
You know you're getting older when they're making TV shows, sequels or plays for things that you did. It's very flattering and very humbling, indeed.
