My parents were great in the sense that they treated me like a human being when I was growing up. They showed me how beautiful things can be and how ugly they can be.

More quotes by Winona Ryder
I'd always find the positive in someone.
Winona Ryder
I remember the whole thing with the word ambition. I was messed up for a while because I associated it with certain people who just want to be famous. I think, for a while, it was kind of a dirty word for women.
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
Break-ups are hard for anybody, but it's particularly tough when it's being documented and you see the person's picture everywhere. Most people don't have that added problem when they break up with someone.
Winona Ryder
I got to work with Gena Rowlands when I did Night on Earth, and the movie was just you and someone else in a car, you're just hanging out. There's nobody else, just a walkie-talkie. It was a night shoot, and it was only a week or ten days. But it was incredible just being in her presence.
Winona Ryder
I was always like, I'm going to be the drunk judge who's like, 'Objection!' 'In chambers!'
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 love westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.
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
Well, yeah! Now they're considered golden oldies, which is awesome. I was watching Little Women recently, and I didn't want to get up for fear of missing something. And Heathers is like my own Rocky Horror Picture Show I recite the lines when it's on. It may seem odd, but I think it's because they're really good movies.
Winona Ryder
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
Winona Ryder
That's an aspect of this business which can be very frustrating and aggravating. Most of what is written about you is wrong and so much of what does get printed is often about personal things that you don't want to have other people read about.
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
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.
Winona Ryder
My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.
Winona Ryder
My parents are awesome, but they're pretty left-wing.
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
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
Sometimes I'll watch a movie, and it's got some big star in it playing a working-class person, and the character is in a grocery store, and you can kind of tell, from just watching the scene, that this actor doesn't do their own shopping. So you have to have some sense of reality.
Winona Ryder
I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.
