Hi Folks,
For those of you who are not from AGCN, I have a real treat for you. Several months ago BigBigs, one of the Moderators, had a contest to find the BEST Winona quote. These had to be by her and not her roles in movies. The response was staggering with 185 posts. What I have done is rearrange the entries alphabetically by the person who submitted each one. Any comments are from the submitter.
But be forewarned, this is a LOT of reading, although for true fans it will be a labor of love. Without further ado, here are the entries from ‘Bigs contest.
Cheers,
Charles

Noni about Richard Gere
"He is not the sexiest man alive, at least not in my book"
Interviewer: Did you know that Richard Gere was voted the Sexiest Man Alive?
Winona: Nobody asked me . . .
Winona: Wrinkles aren't sexy . . .
Being Myself
The following is paraphrase from Winona in 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.

About Y2K: “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 shot gun 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."
Christmas on the commune:
"Yeah we would always have a tree every year. It was usually a cannabis tree, but we would decorate it
and there would always be a star on top."
"Most of my friends had pretty weird names...
the crowd we ran with when I was a little kid was like,
Tatonka, Gulliver, Oobie Doobie... I had a friend, who was on my skateboarding team, named Asshole."

Sigourney Weaver's journal while filming Alien Resurrection:
-On Valentine's Day outside stage 16 at lunchtime-
"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.

Question: What do you think your appeal is as an actress?
Winona: I don't know. Dave(pirner), what's my appeal?
Dave: Your appeal is you don't know what your appeal is.
