Zitat des Tages von Winona Ryder:
I did this little movie I really love called 'Experimenter,' but that took six years to get made and no money.
I'm not into older guys. To tell you the truth, Richard Gere is not the sexiest man alive, in my book.
I feel like I had to learn how to take care of myself and find out what made me happy aside from just making films.
With 'Ed Wood,' I sobbed. With 'Frankenweenie,' I was crying. With 'Edward Scissorhands,' I always cry. There's always an incredible amount of purity, even if they look a certain way.
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.
Remember, I'm the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I've never felt like I'm a big star at any level of my life.
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.
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 want to be a good friend, a good sister, a good person and a good actress.
The Duffers can be super articulate or very straight to the point. I was really impressed with how they were with each other.
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.
It was hard to find that transition to adult roles.
You've got to grow up sometime.
I wanted to be just a normal girl flirting with a normal guy. It's like, you meet people, and they know this stuff about you. It's why you want to meet somebody who's in the same business, only because they understand more. But you don't necessarily want to be with another actor.
I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.
I feel my best when I'm happy.
You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.
I don't have any interest in being a movie star.
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.
I would have to say 'The Crucible' stands out because it was one of the best experiences I've ever had, but, you know, Arthur Miller being present on the set - which was wonderful and incredible - but, to have him in your eye line is quite intimidating. It's such a beautiful language he created, so that was challenging but exciting.
I've learned that it's OK to be flawed.
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.
I don't hang out with agents and producers and I'm not into the business side at all.
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.
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.
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
I feel a little stronger than people perceive me.
I was fired from a movie because I did 'Heathers!' I was cast in a movie, and the director saw an advance screening and was offended by it and fired me.
People don't realise how much tension they hold in their forearms.
You have to work to be relevant. If you don't, then people will forget, and the studios won't want you because they won't remember the last thing you did that made money.
I love watching old movies, and I read a lot of autobiographies.
I definitely count my blessings. I feel like I've had such a great ride. Early on, to be able to work with some of the people I did, I feel really lucky.
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.
It's all about knowing when to listen to that conversation and - without sounding really hokey - when to tune it out and follow your heart.
I'm not into wrinkles.
