Quote

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?

There are actors I know personally, or I've heard them say, The less known about me, the better, because I just want people to think of me as the character. I think Matt Damon said that recently. He has a point and I think I get that.

Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.
Winona Ryder
Image
The fact that I got into acting at all was kind of fluke-ish. I loved movies, but I can't remember ever really wanting to be an actress, and I certainly didn't imagine ever being in a movie. I think I wanted to be a writer.

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.

My father is an atheist. My mother is Buddhist. They encouraged my siblings and me to take the best part of other religions to make our own belief system.

I was raised to believe that religion is a beautiful thing, but it's fiction.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.

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.

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?

In America, I don't know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we're in danger.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed.

A lot of the old movie theaters are closing down now, which is really sad. It's still in the back of my mind.
Winona Ryder
Image
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.

As an actress, you go where the stories are. I don't really care where it's seen, at this point. I just want to tell good stories and do good roles that I haven't done before.

I don't have anything left to offer in the teen-angst area. I've done it every way I know how.
Winona Ryder
Image
I'm very attached to movie theaters and I love going to them. Nothing will ever replace that. It's very romantic and beautiful. I used to want to live inside of one, with a bathtub, a bike and a bed, and just watch movies.

I'm not into wrinkles.

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.

Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.
