It’s an indication of how cynical our society has become that any kind of love story with a sad theme is automatically ridiculed as sentimental junk.

WINONA RYDERThe older you get, the more yourself you can be and the less worried you are about what other people think.
WINONA RYDERI was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.
WINONA RYDERI love my job. But all the stuff that comes with it, the thought of being propelled into the limelight again is not something I sit around and fantasize about, certainly. I’d much rather just do my work, and then go home and read my books and watch movies.
WINONA RYDERThe actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?
WINONA RYDERThat’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.
WINONA RYDERI remember when I first started being in magazines, I had pretty thin skin. I was this nerd that read books and stayed home and didn’t go out.
WINONA RYDERI think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they’re still in love and still write together.
WINONA RYDERI’d always find the positive in someone.
WINONA RYDERIn America, I don’t know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we’re in danger.
WINONA RYDERYou do a movie if it’s good and if you want to do it. It doesn’t matter if it’s small or big or expensive or cheap. If you want to say the words, you’re gonna say them. You can’t strategize.
WINONA RYDERI love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
WINONA RYDERI’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 RYDERI 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.
WINONA RYDERI often get offered things that are so similar to things that I have done, and life is too short. When you make a film or a show, as you get older, that’s a lot of time to be doing something that you’re not absolutely invested in or in love with.
WINONA RYDERI think it’s really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.
