More quotes by 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
I love Texas. Even if I am a little bit famous or a little bit popular... You go to places where you're not and just live like everybody else lives. I'm not crazy about this country in terms of the shape it's in, but I do think there are lots of great pieces to go to. I think I should take advantage of it while this country still exists.
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
I really lucked out in terms of how my parents encouraged me to develop my own personality so I didn't just feel incredibly insecure and like I didn't fit in.
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
As a character, it's very interesting to play someone who wants to change their life and have him change it.
Winona Ryder
I was so spoiled in a way. I worked very hard, but there was just a wealth of great roles.
Winona Ryder
I remember realizing, when I did Little Women [1994], that that was the only time girls that age were being written about. It was always boys - from David Copperfield to Lord of the Flies to Holden Caulfield. There were never young women going through adolescence or teen years there were only little girls.
Winona Ryder
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?
Winona Ryder
I binge-watched this show Damages. Glenn Close and Rose Byrne are so good. Lily Tomlin is in it. You see all these great actors and the writing is terrific. There are a lot of shows like that. And there are all these conversations right now about roles for women and being paid equally and all of that, but I think what it really is, is opportunity.
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
There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.
Winona Ryder
I don't believe I am influencing anybody but myself.
Winona Ryder
Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.
Winona Ryder
I definitely believe in legalizing drugs. It does take the mystery away. It takes the money away, so suddenly there are no drug wars. If you're a junkie, you can get help easier.
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 had this big complex because I didn't go to college. There was a whole era where I got linked to everybody. People that I had never met. I was like, How? I'm home alone reading chapter 12 of a book.
Winona Ryder
I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.
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
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.
