Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Winona Ryder
"I didn't have this tremendous sense of guilt, because I hadn't hurt anyone. Had I physically harmed someone or caused harm to a human being, I think it would have been an entirely different experience. [After] I never said a word. I didn't release a statement. I didn't do anything. I just waited for it to be over. The attention was what was embarrassing. It was the December after Sept. 11. … So much attention was being paid to me, when we had just been attacked, and there was all this really important news going on."
- Winona Ryder speaks out for the first time on her shoplifting arrest in the August issue of Vogue magazine
Separated At Birth
Even Her Surf Board Is Pink!
I loved how she blamed the painkillers for her stealing - how pathetic is that? Regardless of if she feels guilty or not, blaming it on painkillers for her arm is pathetic and she needs to just accept that yes she did it - why? she doesn't know, but she did.
Bitch should have stayed silent.
Anyone who bumps with Johnny Depp gets a Gold Star from me.
Even though I fear his junk is like 3" long.
For serious. Who cares? I still love her. And the theft gives her major punk rock points.
I like her a lot, she made a mistake but she deserves a second chance like everyone who's not perfect!
Dude, seriously? Get over it! It was years ago, no one even cares. Winona ryders cool and talented spite that, im sure tons of people have stolen things way worse than she has, she doesnt have anything to be guilty of! Shut up!
She's hiding something under that bow. Give it back to the makeup lady Winona.
I totally agree with the first paragraph of #23. Fuck the big corporations, AND THEIR HIGH PRICES. A shirt shouldn't cost $3,000 fucking dollars, then maybe people wouldn't steal them. And they do exploit third world countries and their workers. Dumbfucks. Regardless of whether or not they can afford it, it's refuckingdiculous.
Anywho, I also agree with that, no luxury department store workers get commissions, I mean, wake up. The owner of the department store didn't lose money because he got his money back, and hey, "He could afford it…" right?
Wino rocks. :O
PS: WOW #47 is totally obsessed with her! MORE FANS! MORE ATTENTION! WOO.
"I didn't have this tremendous sense of guilt." Therein lies the problem . . .
Awww, I love Winona, who cares if she stole something. She's fucking amazing, although would like to point out she's looking a little creepy on Vogue.
Prices for all goods go up exponentially for EVERYONE because of theft.
I guess Winona Ryder exercises conditional ethics when applied to herself.
I think Winona is a damn fol! It is sad that anybody can get attention for the silliest things and I think thats all she is after is attention!
Winona Ryder is not a slut just because she stole stuff!!!!
Ack!! When are we going to have actual MODELS on magazines again? I am so tired of celebrities everywhere
Wow! Is she saying that her story was bigger than 911? I dont remember that! Her memory must be F###ed up cause nothing was bigger than 911!
I do remember that she was on the news and other shows that made fun of her. But I dont remember that much coverage over her. Maybe I didnt watch enough TV.
God, is she really that retarded? Her press has always tried to portray her as "edgy and smart". "Edgy"? "Twitchy" is more like like it. And "smart"? She's a fucking retard! She actually SAID she had no guilt about what she did? Does she have any idea how that makes her sound? Winona Ryder is a drug-addicted, neurotic, klepto who can't keep her legs closed. And she looks absolutely ridiculous on that cover. She's trying to be grown-up and glamourous, but she can't cut it, not even in that big gown. She looks like a mentally challenged teenage girl who's trying on her grandmother's evening gowns. And that HAIR! Yuk!
Shoplifters are criminals! Because of their thieving, stores have to raise the prices of goods to make up for the loss. If she doesn't see anything wrong in stealing from a store because no one got hurt, she is more ignorant than I thought. She must also have some sort of mental illness to steal when she has the cash to buy things.
WHY THIS SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT FROM HER? TO BE A THIEF IS SOOOOO DEGRADING. IT MEANS YOUR TOO STUPID AND LACK TALENT TO BE PAID FOR YOUR WORK, THAT YOU COME FROM TRASH.
Obviously she was brought up by gypsies or something.
Did she ever serve time for her crime?
gee, she has no guilt after committing a crime. Nice. You know, technically, all of us "average income folk" pay the price when people shoplift, as I'm sure most of you know. Companies have to raise the prices of their items to compensate for all of the items that have been stolen. So, technically, we're all victims of Winona's theft crimes. She does owe all of us an apology and maybe this will make her feel a little bit more guilt and/or remorse.
Oh, of course WE are the ones with the problem.
She should worry about her own priorities.
these people are un-fuckingbelievable why did she shop-lift in the first place with all that money? because she WANTED the attention now she's bitching because she GOT all that attention. Go fuck yourself crazy- bitch, believe or not the world did not revolve around Winona shoplifting shit during 911.
I love this rationalization she comes up with to justify her actions. Obviously she is still not sorry. "I did not hurt anyone" and "More attention should have been given to 9/11" You did hurt people, shoplifting raises prices. And shame on you for bringing up 9/11 to deflect attention away from yourself. I still do not see any apologies or admission that your actions were wrong. Figures.
seriously, she is an AMAZING actress, one of my favs and she made a mistake - big deal ! everyone has, and she was scrutinized wayy to much for this shoplifting incendent. more power to her, i love her !!
p.s. i love u too perez =]
i never liked this girl. never thought she was pretty, couldnt see why anyone would want to see her movies. but she is a good actress. acting is probably the only thing she's good for. its scary to think what she would be doing if she wasnt a movie star. she looks so ugly in that picture
Why is she even still talking about the shoplifting thing? Desperation is a stinky cologne!
I think what she did was a mistake..and we all make mistakes, but i personally don't like her .
Yes, 9/11 was far way more important then knocking off thousands of dollars worth of clothes, especially when you've earnt quite enough to have paid for them, my guess is, she's used to all those freebies they like to give to celebties, I think the idea of those free gifts, is so they can buy more of those products, you know, give her a free i-phone, and that way she'll buy one for each member of their families, and staff, so I guess all you can ask is __Why?onna
i was always told to only steal wut u can't afford. i think she cold afford wut she stole, however, i love her i grew up watching her!
is anyone suprised she doesn't feel bad? that's the problem with all these stars…they think they are better then everyone else. she should be more embarrassed to admit she doesn't think she hurt anyone…fucking loser!!!!!!!!
No one attacked you, 9/11 was an insider job! It is your country that goes around and attacks innocent all over the world.
she is one of the most talented and beautiful actresses ever to appear on film and don't you forget it
to all the dick wads on earth who think 911 was a inside job. you are evil and sick and very very very stupid.
she's mixed up, stealing does hurt alot of people, even though to her it might seem like faceless shareholders, it is hurting someone, and also, there is the lack of morale terpitude and the lies she told, doesn't she remember telling them it was for a movie. Her recent comments in regard to this, should be an apology and admitting she made a mistake, she's low class and screwed up
How appalling that she gets to be on the cover of a coveted magazine such as Vogue. Did Anna Wintour know about this? People on their pages can afford the items they publish.
What a bunch of jerks. EVERYONE HAS SCREWED UP once in their lives, and you all are no different. The lady took a LOT of heat, and she's now gettin' back in the saddle - GOOD FOR YOU WINONA. Glad to see you back!
I like Winona but I think it's funny that she's trying to distract people and even get them on her side by making the shop lifting thing seem less important by mentioning 9-11.
Does she expect us all to nod along and agree with her? Yes, there WERE more important things to talk about, you stealing was really not a big deal. The press were stupid for bringing it to our attention….
maybe because i'm not American. I'm sure quite a few Americans will swallow it though
Winona is an habitual liar who doesn't feel she has to answer to anyone She did NOT break her arm in two places in the months before she stoke from Saks. In October 2001 she invited NME magazine to her birthday party where her she didn't have a broken arm. In early November 2001 she was at a tribute to Elmer Bernstein and had no broken arm. In the same month she and Courtney Love were seen getting into a fight at a U2 concert. No broken arm again. In December she was caught stealing and said she was rehearsing for a movie. When Winona was caught she had unlawful possession of Oxycodone. She had NO prescription for it because she did NOT break her arm. Her trial revealed in a three-year period Winona filled 37 prescriptions from 20 doctors under a half-dozen aliases, according to a probation report, to obtain opiates for recreational use. Courtney Love was abusing opiates too. The prosecutor dropped the drug charges against Winona in exchange for evidence against a doctor.
OMG I ADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE WINONA!!! she's so fucking talented and absolutely beautiful! love her love her love her!
Vogue for roles!! Material girl would be proud.
HELLOOOOOO! Your're rich!
Then, I suppose Wino won't mind if I steal from her. After all it's not like I'd be hurting her!
Ah, shut up haters! I love Winona! Still one of the best actresses of her generation! WIsh she would get back into making movies instead of banging rock stars!! Come back Nonie! WE MISS YOU!!
Ha ha, how sad and pathetic…..
#47 I love your post, ,,, it's been a long standing joke that if she gets involved with a musician, his career goes down the drain…and you forgot to add the creep from the White Stripes, but I'm sure there's been plenty of others since then…
I've always thought groupie chicks knew crap about music anyhow.
It's been a long time since that posuer has been relevant, so let's hope this is last we'll hear from her for a long time.
she does look like Salma Hayek here.
I was wondering who she looked like because it sure as hell doesn't look like Winona. Actually I'm also getting a hint of Nelly Fart-tard-o which is a shame since she is ugly and Winona is quite beautiful (usually)
I shoplifted before……… n got caught
It's More EMBARASSING than feeling Guilty especially when you have the cash to pay for it.
Stop Being Hypocrites PPL………. O_o ^-_-^
Lemme get this straight…. no one got hurt, so there's nothing to feel bad about and everyone else should feel guilty for not ignoring the whole thing 'cuz it was three months after 9/11? WTF!
OMG she looks BEAUTIFUL!
clepto
Hate to sound like a prude but she DID hurt people by breaking the law….Shoplifting affects overburdens the police and the courts, adds to a store's security expenses, costs consumers more for goods, costs communities lost dollars in sales taxes and hurts children and families!
Sorry, but I agree with her too……there were so many more important things happening in America than some celeb stealing clothes !!!
She still looks Hot tho…..GO WINONA !!! I still love you !!
OK LAME LAME LAME!!!! This loser had the nerve to blame her broken arm medication for her "Spaced out " feelings that day. Give me a break!!! She was unaware of what she was doing and it took her this long to think of that one?? I wish she had a site so I could make sure she sees this commment. Just admit it thousands of people may sufffer with the same problem and she refuses to be a grown up about it and fess up. She is so over anyway. Later Wino
agreed, not that big a deal…though it does seem like she shoulda been able to afford not to do something so stupid. nevermind though! i'm just glad winona is back, i love her!
What a bunch of stupid fucking morons you all are who trash her because "she DID hurt someone".
Just ONE ounce of common sense and you would know she is talking about PHYSICALLY hurting someone, like she was a dumb ass drunk driver, or she did knife someone while robbing the supermarket.
Fucking get a clue
Ugh. Isn't she dead yet?
Leave her alone.I still have a crush on her.
Winona is atleast more classy than some of these primates out here with the names Lohan (Lord Help Us), Spears (Look how sweet I was compared to how trashy I am now, and Hilton (It's so unfair that a rich person has to abide by the law). Come on guys! Winona has paid her dues! I think she was classy enough to leave for 6 YEARS! to get her act together. Shouldn't we forgive already! If all of y'all are perfect, cast a stone! That's right, you can't because some of you reprobates have worse occurences on your records than she has but hide behind an internet site to spew garbage when you yourself live in a glass house! Winona is hot and atleast she has talent which is more than I can say for Ms. Hilton who uses her fortune and fame all to keep a blonde stereotype in tact. Have you seen her do one good thing since she was sprung loose from jail? It's a sight that remains to be seen. Winona on the other hand should not have to pay with her entire life for a mistake that she made six years ago, one mistake that she has paid her dues for in full. I love her and can't wait to see her on screen again. She's gorgeous!

Winona Ryder is a talented actress who has given us so many great films, Heathers, Beetle Juice, Reality Bites, Dracula, and the list goes on. She is involved in numerous charitable and eco friendly projects. She has even spent time trying to help locate missing children and made people more aware of what a community could do in times of crises. Decades of great work starting in her teen years and some people can only focus on a shop lifting incident. I'm glad I'm not one of them, it seems kind of petty to hang onto one negative event that she was already punished for and ignore the rest of her career which is nothing but positive.
