QUOTES BY Winona Ryder


People don't realise how much tension they hold in their forearms.

The 1980s was the era of the blonde cheerleader.

I would never give advice, because I would feel very presumptuous.

Honestly, if it wasn't for 'Beetlejuice,' where would I be? That movie was a big thing for me.

I want to be a good friend, a good sister, a good person and a good actress.

I was unusual looking - I didn't have the look of that time. If you look at 'Lucas' - and, basically, my first five or six movies - the characters are not described in the scripts as attractive people.

I feel a little stronger than people perceive me.

My problems seemed so glamorous to other people, and everyone just thought I was so lucky. But then, I was lucky because my family was really there for me - San Francisco was a real refuge.

I approached work very seriously. I never went out. I couldn't fathom people who could go out to clubs... I mean, if I had a 6 A.M. call, I had to be prepared. I had to be in bed at a certain hour.
