Winona Ryder In Elle: Wants Kids, Mistrusts Men (PHOTOS)
Winona Ryder plays a washed-up ballerina in 'Black Swan,' but in an interview with Elle she says that the real-life dry spell in her acting career is self-inflicted.
"If I don't relate to the [project], even if it's something that I should do, it's hard for me to say yes," she said. "I'm the type who'd rather not work than work on something I'm not into. I've done that a couple of times, and I feel like I can totally see it in my performance."
Winona, 39, hopes she "knock on wood" has kids one day and tells the magazine she has trouble meeting men who like her for the right reasons.
"I remember being at this bar called Tosca in San Francisco, and I met this guy one night," she said. "He was really cute, and we were talking, and then, like, he just said something about how he had always had a crush on me. And I was suddenly mistrustful about why he was talking to me. I wanted to be just a normal girl flirting with a normal guy. It's like you meet people, and they know this stuff about you. It's why you want to meet somebody who's in the same business, only because they understand more. But you don't necessarily want to be with another actor."
