Winona Ryder sat down for a photo shoot and chatted about her life in the latest issue of BlackBook magazine. She has a film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee to promote, but Winona had plenty of other things to discuss. Winona talked about a variety of topics, from her famous exes like Matt Damon and Johnny Depp to her feelings about Angelina Jolie winning the Oscar for Girl, Interrupted. Here's more:

- On dating Johnny Depp: "Things changed for me when I met Johnny. This weird thing happens when you’re written about in magazines, where you start to think, 'This is who I am. This is how I have to be.' I felt restricted and pressured into being the way people perceived me. It was hard for me to find my footing. The Johnny thing made me really afraid of the press because, even though it was about him, I was beside him the entire time."
- On her relationship with Matt Damon: "Matt couldn’t be a greater, nicer guy. I’m really lucky that I’m on good terms with him. . . With Johnny, it’s like we’re good, but we lead very different lives. I was out at a bar with a friend who said, 'Do you realize that in America you’re never going to be able to meet a guy who knows nothing about you? Everyone will have preconceived ideas about who you are.' I got so bummed out. I’d never really thought about it that way."
- On knowing Angelina Jolie since Girl, Interrupted: "I never had any bad feelings about Angelina. . . And I was hurt that people thought that. Everyone assumed I was really jealous because I thought this would be my vehicle. . . We said from the very beginning that the actress who played Lisa would probably win an Oscar, because it was the big, great, showy part. But I always related to Susanna. I fought very hard for her to have that part, and I never really felt like I got the chance to know her."
Wished she would have dished some dirt and given the back story on Gwyneth.
1WATB!!!
2I wonder if she stole any of the clothes from the shoot.
3Angelina spoke about the way she acted in that movie. She was method acting and Angie's character didn't like Winona's so she wasn't very friendly to Winona. unfortunately Angie doesn't method act anymore and it shows.
She was such a better actress before she won the Oscar. I
think it's funny that Angelina says she doesn't even know where her oscar is.
4^Skankolina may say she doesn't know where her Oscar is but you know she's lying. She was so freaking thrilled to get it...maybe she gave it to her brother LOL
5Angie has said many times that she gave her Oscar and SAG Actors to her Mother. The woman who was her acting coach until she was too ill to carry on. AJ also said that they couldn't face going through her Mom's belongings after she passed away so they had everything put in storage and AJ isn't sure were the Oscar is now. She gave her Golden Globe awards to Jamie.
6I really like her hair like that
7Agree to the first poster! I remember the Gwyneth story related to Shakespeare In Love.
8Winona is a good actress and has made some terrible choices. She needs a break or try something different. And who needs an American man.. go find one overseas. LOL
AJ's Oscar is lost in her cavernous chonch...WR is cute, disturbed and great imo
9i've always had a soft spot for winona. she was a great actress who did make some bad choices (life and scripts!), but i'd love to see her back on top.
i also wish there was some dirt spilled about Shakespeare in Love!!!
10I love Winona, the 90's were all about her: Heathers, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands... Loved her then, love her now.
And yes - I would love the Gwyneth goss too!
11I can't help liking Winona. She really is a very talented actress and I loved her performances in The Crucible and Mermaids so much. I hope things continue to pick up for her.
12She's too classy to spill the Gwynneth gossip in an interview.
13Hasn't the "Gwyneth gossip" already been spilled? And didn't Gwynnie just recently diss Winona on her "GOOP" blog? I don't think what happen between them is a top secret.
14And another thing . . . Winona gives an interview in some obscure magazine where she brings up two famous ex-boyfriends, neither of whom has every said a word about her and she brings up Angelina Jolie, who also has never said a word about her. Why? Hasn't she done anything significant in the past 10 years that would interest an interviewer or the public? Why bring up old BFs and a follow actress from so many years ago when she refuses to discuss the shoplifting mess? I have a feeling Winona hasn't thorougly worked out her mental problems. Maybe she shouldn't be out promoting this movie that nobody will probably see.
15Winona is old news. Can anyone tell me why she's even relevant today? I know she's a local girl but these highlights listed were from her relationships with people in the 1990s.
16Angelina DID thank Winona in her acceptance speech during her Oscar win...(it's on YouTube).....but I guess that wasn't enough for Ms. Pill-popper Cleptomaniac...
...In any case,I'm glad this cute but deluded and troubled actress from the 90's has made these comments, cause they REMIND everyone that Ms. Jolie won an Oscar. I think people sometimes forget that....so, Angie's fans thank you Winona!!
17I liked Winona and Johnny together but she should move on though. Why doesn't she talk about current things like where she's at right now. I loved her acting.
18Winona will hardly talk at all about her current private life because she got burned when she talked about her private life in the 90s. I notice though just about the only current thing that she mentions is that she is single. This is pretty pathetic if you think about it.
