Winona Ryder: Arrest had “enormous impact” on her career

Horrified by the harsh tone on the Internet

A lot changed in the industry during her career break. She was “really shocked” by the harsh tone on the internet that was used towards young actresses. “It felt like there was a shift in the industry and the culture in terms of what was acceptable and what was rewarded,” she said. Ryder had already spoken about her Hollywood break in an interview with Net-A-Porter in 2016. It was exactly what she needed. “Psychologically, I must have been at a point where I just wanted to quit,” she said at the time. They didn't start “the crime of the century.” “But it gave me the time I really needed to go back to San Francisco and devote myself to things that… I just had other interests, to be honest.”
