What Winona Ryder has done for a first time

Her real hair color is blonde but when she made her first major film Lucas (1986), her hair color was dyed black. She was told to keep it that color and with the exception of Edward Scissorhands (1990), it has stayed that color since.
The first house she bought was in the Hollywood Hills. She soon moved, saying she never fitted in.
She was Martin Scorsese's first and only choice for the role of May Welland in The Age of Innocence (1993). For years, she kept the message she left on her voicemail, informing her she got the role.

Winona Ryder's quotes

When asked why is she always playing teenagers, during a press junket for Mermaids (1990): Like, I'm nineteen. What am I supposed to do, play a judge?!
I read biographies of the greats, and they were so messed up that I thought I'd better mess myself up. But I couldn't. I'm too small.
For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.
[on Heathers (1988)] It's a brilliant piece of literature, and I call it literature because it really is. I held it up next to "Catcher in the Rye" and all the great books that I've read.
I don't feel threatened like Julia Roberts. Pretty Woman (1990) turned her into an overnight celebrity rather than an actress. Now her whole career is about box-office -- if her movies don't break $l00-million. It's not a burden I'd ever want to carry.
[on Alien Resurrection (1997)] I couldn't hold my own against Sigourney Weaver and those special effects. I still don't know what I was doing in that movie. I look at it now and realize I really didn't belong. I'm just this little girl running around.
I still practice Buddhism to a certain extent and I believe in karma.
My father is an atheist. My mother is Buddhist. They encouraged my siblings and me to take the best part of other religions to make our own belief system.
I live in San Francisco, I have an apartment in New York, but I'm here all the time. Nobody knows... You can't stay away. I'm a San Franciscan to the bone.
I love Westerns. John Ford is one of the 10 best directors.
Focus should be on the art of film, not on the business of film.
My godfather Timothy Leary coined the phrase "question authority", it is one of my favorites. To question our government is the most important thing people can do right now in the United States.
I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm not going to turn into Gloria Swanson and sit in my mansion watching my movies, with a crazy cigarette holder... but I feel so blessed to have done the things that I've done.
I don't know if it's because of my love of books and the pages and the print-there's just so much romance in them-but I hate all these doublespeak abbreviations like "OMG" and "LOL". I still don't know if that means "Laugh Out Loud" or "Lots of Love".
What's awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That's scary, and they just seem to think it's okay to do it, like you're public property.
I think too much. I think ahead. I think behind. I think sideways. I think it all. If it exists, I've fucking thought of it.
[2013] Recently, they were showing Lucas (1986) and Beetlejuice (1988) and it was a part of "The Golden Oldies". And I was so psyched by that, and I think I secretly like getting older and it's so cool to be in a "old Goldie".
[on Star Trek (2009)] I really don't have much more than a cameo. I was kind of thinking I'd be like Marlon Brando in Superman (1978). Not that I'd ever compare myself to Brando!
I always loved the Patti Smith lyric, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine." I got sent home from school wearing a Patti Smith T-shirt with that line on.
In every article I've ever read - and my parents keep everything - it's like 'waif, pixie, waif, pixie'. There are worse things to be called, but I feel a little stronger than people may perceive me.
I tend to binge watch shows that were on a long time ago, but I don't know that, so I start telling everybody. Like I love Damages (2007) and I thought it was still on... and I was like "There's this great show, Damages," but it was over a long time ago.
There was a whole era where I got linked to everybody. People that I had never met. I was like "How? I'm home alone reading chapter 12 of a book.".
I don't regret opening up about what I went through [with depression], because, it sounds really clichÃ©, but I have had women come up to me and say, "It meant so much to me.".
[observation, 2016] I took some years off and I didn't realize that was very dangerous in terms of my career. When I was ready to come back, I was like "Oh, where did everyone go?".
