Hi Folks,
I came across a long list of quotes from the lady that are humorous, entertaining, insightful, etc. I thought I would post a couple every day until they run out. Unfortunately, I don't have the sources for all of them, but I'll include where I have them.
Charles
And for the first group:
On Richard Gere
Interviewer: Did you know that Richard Gere was voted the Sexiest Man Alive?
Winona: Nobody asked me . . .
And again, Winona about Richard Gere:
"He is not the sexiest man alive, at least not in my book"
Winona: "Wrinkles aren't sexy . . ."
OUCH!!!

The following is paraphrased from Winona on a talk show:
Host: So, Winona do you ever go online?
Winona: Yeah, I went chatting and there were people there, like this metal fan guy who would type METAL RULES (or something to that effect) over and over. Then I told the people who I was and they didn't believe me.
And as a footnote, I love the quote in the footer of my posts.
When asked by an interviewer to characterize herself,
she said:
"I'm strange, crazy, intelligent, wild, soft, coy, thrifty, boring, romantic, selfish, full of pride, mean, dark, sweet and most of all I'm through with this interview. . . "

Regarding Y2K
When asked how she would be preparing for the turn of the century/millennium, Winona responsed:
“I've considered different options. I was thinking of withdrawing all my money and putting it in a big pile and sitting on top of the pile with a shotgun and shouting 'get off my land,' even though I don't have any land.
Or maybe just, I don't know, going to bed early."

Charles, I understand. I really, really do (hehe) but could you just try to remember to give us a little more reference to where you get these quotes. I mean you have to get them from 'somewhere', right? Respectfully, kindly... please  . Umm, just kidding there big guy. Be good and thanks for the continued giving.  |

Hi DL,
Actually, I found a WORD file on my computer recently titled "Winona Quotes" with pages and pages of these little nuggets. All I remember about the file was that it was something that I compiled many years ago. Most of these quotes came from other WR fans who posted them on a variety of sites. I will put the source when I have it, but most are unattributed.
Sorry . . .
Charles

Feelings about different Roles
About Heathers: "I have taken the roles that have interested me.... When I was offered Heathers my agent pleaded with me not to do it. She told me I'd never work again if I did, but I didn't care."
About The Age of Innocence: "It was the first time I haven't felt humiliated when one of my movies came out."
About Alien Resurrection: "I will be a strong, independent woman in it. Not a cute young girl. I just had to do it."

Two Front Teeth
"See these two front teeth?... I used to hate it! Then I saw June Allyson in an old movie on TV. We have the same tooth problem, and she looked so beautiful! If it wasn't for her, I probably would have had it fixed. A couple of years ago I was at a film festival in Utah with my movie Square Dance, and I saw Allyson in a restaurant. That made the trip! I nearly passed out from excitement. I went over and groveled for a couple minutes and told her - I could hardly get the words out- 'You've made my tooth very happy.' She was truly flattered."

On Valentine's Day outside Stage 16 at lunchtime
Source: Sigourney Weaver's journal while filming Alien Resurrection
"Winona and I are standing behind a festive Valentine's table offering champagne and little party favours that are filled with candy and condoms cleverly disguised as pirate coins. The French drink the champagne, the Americans eat the candy, everyone pockets the condoms. A guy comes by who we've never seen before. He picks up a pirate coin, unwraps it thoughtfully, pops it in his mouth, and strolls away, chewing. Winona and I exchange a look. "
"I hope it's flavoured", says Winona.[/b][/color]

What is Winona's appeal?
Interviewer: What do you think your appeal is as an actress?
Winona: I don't know. Dave (Pirner), what's my appeal?[/color]
Dave: Your appeal is you don't know what your appeal is.[/color]
One of my all-time favorite exchanges . . .

I received four Winona movies on VHS (yes it was awhile ago) and some pics and postcards. |

Thanks, Charles. But surely by now, she has to know, if not has known, of what some of those appealing traits are of herself, from her equally appealing fandom. |

Also, I would just like to add further, if Winona herself truly means to claim to not know what makes her appealing to others . . . all I have to say to that is - she's not fooling me, thats for sure. She's to intelligent and observant to make me believe that modest throw-off. Yep. "Yeah, right!", as the saying goes.  That beautiful bright smile of hers reveals much more than one may think, perhaps. Mmm-hmm. |
