Winona starves for stardom

Winona Ryder says she starves herself while making movies because it makes her a better actress. The controversial star, who has just finished filming ‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’, explains, “It’s hard to stay really emotional on a full stomach. It’s like there has to be this weird craving that’s going on if you have to cry. It’s a weird thing.” Winona adds that she used to be a right cow on movie sets until she worked with Meryl Streep on the film ‘The House of Spirits’. She says, “I always thought actors had to be really depressed or moody or anguished to be great, but Meryl was completely fine and did an amazing job. I remember that being a really big deal to me. I was like, ‘Wow! I can actually be happy and be good at the same time!'”
