Winona Ryder's thoughts on being a goth icon:

"I feel kind of proud, I guess, but I can't take full credit," she says. "It's flattering to me. It was a long time ago, but I've always felt sort of attached to that time ['90s goth]. I was listening to The Cure's 'Pictures of You' because I have these old mixtapes that I don't know what to do with—I'm like, 'How do I transfer them?' I still have a tape deck."

On tricks of the trade:

Laying her hands on her lap, palms up and open: "If you put your hands up, you feel vulnerable. It's the little things. I learned that from Jennifer Jason Leigh when I was just starting out."

On being drawn to different periods of history:

"I think actors, on some weird level, feel like displaced souls," she says. "I have a lot of conversations about this, and part of it just may be from steeping ourselves in the history of film and the things we're drawn to, like period pieces."
