More quotes by 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
I write pretty much every day, but I don't have any desire to publish anything.
Winona Ryder
I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.
Winona Ryder
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
Reverend Hale is so interesting because at first he's like, Oh, she's got the mark. Then by the end he's like, You're all crazy.
Winona Ryder
It's an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.
Winona Ryder
You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.
Winona Ryder
I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.
Winona Ryder
Actors do these really gross, gun-'em-down movies, and I always wonder why. They're not good movies. And it's like, Why are you doing them? Aren't you rich enough?
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
Life's short, so if you're going to spend months doing something, it's gotta be pretty special... But I'm very happy to enter my Baby Jane years, and hopefully segue into the Ruth Gordon years.
Winona Ryder
I often get offered things that are so similar to things that I have done, and life is too short. When you make a film or a show, as you get older, that's a lot of time to be doing something that you're not absolutely invested in or in love with.
Winona Ryder
I'm quite comfortable looking at myself in movies, probably because I've been doing it for so long, since I was a kid. So I sort of watched myself grow up and go through adolescence, like, basically on camera.
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
Looking back - I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.
Winona Ryder
My parents really instilled this idea in me of being your own person, almost to the extent that I couldn't do wrong. I'd get a bad grade and they'd be like, No! What you did was great!
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
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 was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.
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.
