More From Winona Ryder

I read the script [ of 'steve jobs' movie ], and it was very, very good. i wasn't sure they would want me to be in the movie, but i auditioned for it. which i hadn't done in a few years. but i had auditioned in the previous few years for another movie that i did not get the part. and so my track record wasn't good. but i really wanted to audition because i was worried that i was going to blow it, and i wanted it to be on them for choosing me.

I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.

Drugs are so easy to get in the ghetto. they might not be easy to get in nice areas like beverly hills, but in long beach and compton and south central they're easy to get. they don't drop those drugs off in beverly hills. they drop them off in the ghetto. then they tell us it's wrong to sell them. well, we didn't bring them here. we just sell them. i was selling, like i sold newspapers.

I was cast in a movie [originally] called mr. spreckman's boat, starring marcia gay harden and jennifer connelly. i felt like an "actress." both of them have won oscars - maybe that means i might one day.

Roxanne came along in '86, when i was doing a lot of stand-up. i auditioned for the movie, and of course i was a huge steve martin fan, so i really hoped i would get this part. i don't think there was any part in particular that i auditioned for. i just went in and talked with them. there were so many parts in there, and so many comedians ended up getting in that movie, playing different firemen and townspeople.

Similar Quotes
All ages have said and repeated that one should strive to know one's self. this is a strange demand which no one up to now has measured up to and, strictly considered, no one should. with all their study and effort, people are directed to what is outside, to the world about them, and they are kept busy coming to know this and to master it to the extent that their purposes require. . . . how can you come to know yourself? never by thinking, always by doing. try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to. and what is your duty? whatever the day calls for.
Thinking Self People
In this world, there are two times. there is mechanical time and there is body time." "they do not keep clocks in their houses. instead, they listen to their heartbeats. they feel the rhythms of their moods and desires." "then there are those who think their bodies don't exist. they live by mechanical time. they rise at seven o'clock in the morning. they eat their lunch at noon and their supper at six. they arrive at their appointments on time, precisely by the clock.

I wrote a comedy, which hopefully [rick director] curtiss clayton will bring to the screen, that i thought was the antithesis of all my work. i thought it was light and sunshiny, and mr. clayton reminded me that it is the story of a woman kidnapped and forced to do things against her will, which is not what most people think of as light and sunshiny.

I think very frequently, musicians become a victim of every song they sing. i like all kinds of recreation. it's aggressive. i want to be part of everything.
