I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.
Winona Ryder
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.
Winona Ryder
What's great is my parents aren't stuck in the '60s. My dad is so into the culture of today.

You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
Winona Ryder
I don't have anything left to offer in the teen-angst area. I've done it every way I know how.
Winona Ryder
Society makes suicide so romantic. I mean, you watch these TV movies about teen suicide and you want to jump in front of a bus. Because your biggest fantasy is your own funeral. No one will admit to it, but it's true.
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 think it's really important to have a life and have interests outside of this [movie] business, and not rely on this business to validate you as a human being. If you do that, you're really in a dangerous spot.
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
The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.

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.
Winona Ryder
I remember realizing, when I did Little Women [1994], that that was the only time girls that age were being written about. It was always boys - from David Copperfield to Lord of the Flies to Holden Caulfield. There were never young women going through adolescence or teen years there were only little girls.
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
There's like this great thing that Bette Davis said when someone asked her, How do you get into Hollywood? Take Fountain!
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
It’s equally as important to me to be a good friend, and a good sister, and a good daughter. I’m very close with my family and friends.
