Winona Ryder shared that her parents' wariness of Hollywood due to its association with tragedy kept her grounded, as they prioritized education and family over early fame.
She revealed that her parents drove seven hours to auditions and instilled in her the importance of maintaining good grades, which ultimately helped her avoid burnout common among young actors.
Ryder reflected on her career choices, mentioning she was perceived as 'choosy' with roles because her family couldn't afford relocating to Los Angeles for acting opportunities.
Ryder noted a significant shift in film representation for women in the 1980s and expressed her desire to create narratives reflecting adolescent female experiences like those found in 'Heathers' and 'Little Women.'
