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.
From Winona Ryder
I'm not interested in playing the girl that's just there to make the guy, you know, give him a talking to.
I've loved making movies. I feel like I've been so lucky because I've gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them - like 'Heathers.'
I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.
It's equally as important to me to be a good friend and a good sister and a good daughter. I'm very close with my family and friends.
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.
You've got to grow up sometime.
I've learned that it's OK to be flawed.
The older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.
If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.
