More quotes by Winona Ryder
Suddenly you're the mom, or you go from ... You're not an ingénue, you don't want to play an ingénue, but it's like that line in The First Wives Club [1996]: There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy.
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
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
Even though I never really had to pound the pavement as an actor, I always worked really hard. But, at the same time, I always felt like people thought that I didn't have to struggle even though I was struggling.
Winona Ryder
You've got to grow up sometime.
Winona Ryder
As an actress, you want to try new things. You don't want to repeat yourself. That becomes more important to you, as you get older.
Winona Ryder
All we want is to be treated like human beings, and not to be patronized, or experimented on like guinea pigs.
Winona Ryder
I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.
Winona Ryder
What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.
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
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.
Winona Ryder
Somehow I was invited to visit with Audrey Hepburn. I had this afternoon with her, and she gave me a couple things. She was so gracious and everything you would think that she would be.
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
Scapegoating will go on forever. We need someone to blame - illegal immigrants, single moms, people in prison. We need someone to victimize.
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 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
My problems seemed so glamorous to other people, and everyone just thought I was so lucky. But then, I was lucky because my family was really there for me. I think I just felt like I really wanted to hold on to who I was as a person, and try to have as much of a normal life as I could.
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
As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.
Winona Ryder
I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.
