More quotes by 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
I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.
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
I don't want to preach, and I don't want to tell people what to do.
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 will say, though, that San Francisco is a very friendly city. It's the kind of place where people smile at you and you can strike up conversations on the street, so there's always an adjustment when I come back to New York. If I smile at someone on the street in New York, then they think there's something up - like, Why is she smiling?
Winona Ryder
A lot of filmmakers and actors say, It's so important to bring an authenticity to the role, blah, blah, blah. But then it's interesting because you're also trying to be somebody else, and viewers are going to associate you with that, so I don't think it really has an answer.
Winona Ryder
If a film is well made, then great, whatever it's about.
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
Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.
Winona Ryder
You try to get out there and live. I've always had good friends who've been very supportive and help make me feel good and grounded because I've never felt attached to the film industry.
Winona Ryder
I remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn't go out.
Winona Ryder
Bette Davis, she was so brilliant and one of my heroes, but she worked a ton, and then she didn't get All About Eve [1950] until the last minute. Claudette Colbert was supposed to be Margo Channing, but then she broke her back and couldn't do it. That allowed Davis to play her age.
Winona Ryder
You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.
Winona Ryder
You do a movie if it's good and if you want to do it. It doesn't matter if it's small or big or expensive or cheap. If you want to say the words, you're gonna say them. You can't strategize.
Winona Ryder
My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.

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 love my job. But all the stuff that comes with it, the thought of being propelled into the limelight again is not something I sit around and fantasize about, certainly. I'd much rather just do my work, and then go home and read my books and watch movies.
Winona Ryder
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.
Winona Ryder
Looking back - I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.
