There's a couple of times that I did it for the... paycheck. Even when I was younger - I remember I did this movie that wasn't good, called '1969.' I totally did it 'cause I could get out of school.
From Winona Ryder
I can see it in even great actors' performances, when they're phoning it in.
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.
On the set for 'Beetlejuice,' it was before people would go watch on monitors, and directors would be next to the camera.
It's interesting because, even with 'Beetlejuice,' I was an awkward kid. I started at puberty and went through it on film. Lydia was one of my favorite roles because I related to her a lot.
I just did what I found interesting. I was so lucky that I was able to do that, especially in the '90s. I was really able to have a life to go back to.
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.
I did this little movie I really love called 'Experimenter,' but that took six years to get made and no money.
There was a time when all that mattered was that you were in a good movie.
I'm not someone like Norma Desmond who's harking back to her younger days.
