"I think I'm pretty pure. I don't know. Every day is a struggle to be these things, but it's worth it. It's really easy to be depressed and be a bad person, and dishonest, and it's hard to be good and honest and happy. It takes effort, it's scarier, but it's so much better."
Vogue October 1993
"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." - Seventeen October 1988
"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." - Radio Times February 1997
About Alien Resurrection: "I will be a strong, independent woman in it. Not a cute young girl. I just had to do it." - Radio Times February 1997
About The Age of Innocence: "It was the first time I haven't felt humiliated when one of my movies came out." - Radio Times February 1997
About her parents and acting: "My parents really didn't want me to be an actress at first. They were afraid that I was too young. That it would take me away from home. But I told them that I had to act and eventually they realised that I really wanted to do it." - The Guardian Weekend March 1995
About T. Leary: "I don't see that much of Tim Leary any more but about a year ago he showed me this crazy video that he had done about some psychedelic phenomenon. I didn't understand it at all and I told him. 'You know, Tim, you always taught me to question authority and you've always been my authority - now I'm questioning you." - The Guardian Weekend March 1995
Winona about her passion for acting:
"Sometimes I think it's an outlet, sometimes the opposite. It fills me up and I don't know where to put it. I guess I sweat it out in my sleep or something. It's great concentrating so hard you feel your brain will explode. When I'm acting well, it's the most exhilarating experience. When I'm bad, it's miserable. I feel like I'm lying to people . . . and that I have to finish lying so that I - and they - can go home. I feel like I'm gypping people, wasting their time." - Los Angeles Times December 1990
"I don't mean to sound conceited, but when people talk about me, they talk about my work or my movies or that I'm an actress. They don't talk about my personal life so much because I don't have a very exciting one." - Stars & Stripes February 1998
"I wouldn't want to be a big movie star. I think my life would be incredibly complicated if I was." - Stars & Stripes February 1998
"I get paid very well, but it's just weird when even though you're being paid really well, you're working with an actor who is not as accomplished as you and not even as famous as you, and he is being paid more than you. That, I've never understood - and it's happened to me a couple of times just because they were men." - New Woman April 1994
About her depressions while shooting The House of Spirits: "I ignored myself, my 'needs'. I put my career in front of my life. I remember so many of my favorite actors saying 'My work is my life.' And it's not... " - Life December 1994
"I told my mother I wanted to kill myself so I could see what it was like after," says Winona. Someone asks, "How old were you?"
"About six," she says, sipping lemonade. - Life December 1994
Number Two
In 1990 when someone asked her why she always played teenagers:
"Well what am I supposed to do, play a judge?"

On dancing in Mermaids:
I've always been a little uncomfortable with dancing. I guess I was a little nervous, but it was a lot of fun, a lot of energy, and I don't know how many takes, wasn't that many though. It was the last day of shooting which was great, so we had the whole movie behind us, so we were really excited.
