I've read the Bible. I think the Bible's a great book, but it's a novel. It's beautifully written and la-di-da, but people really took it the wrong way.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
I thought it was a cool parallel. Being replaced by the young thing. I know that definitely happens in Hollywood. It's harder to find good roles, and suddenly there's new girls. I'm at that age I've been warned my whole life about.
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
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
I'm 44 years old. So, it's really great to watch younger generations getting their opportunities, and being there to support them in that.
Winona Ryder
People think that they just want movies like Pretty Woman, when really they - at least the ones that I know personally - have been waiting for something that doesn't completely insult them.
Winona Ryder
I love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.
Winona Ryder
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
Winona Ryder
In the '80s, I loved the movies of the '70s. Also I remember loving Klute [1971]. I loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I auditioned for the last movie she made before she retired for a while, Stanley and Iris [1990], which Martha Plimpton got.
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 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
Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.
Winona Ryder
It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there, and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future.
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
I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.
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 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
Most of my wardrobe is vintage, and I've worn dresses to the Oscars that I got for $10.
Winona Ryder
I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
Winona Ryder
You look at people like Gena Rowlands, but she had [John] Cassavetes to write these amazing roles for her.
Winona Ryder
I'm too young to play lawyers. But I've been really lucky because I never got labeled. I never did the John Hughes thing. I did adult movies. I'm not bragging or anything, but I think that I've chosen really good roles. I've played different people and showed that I have a little bit of range.
