Winona Ryder (born Winona Laura Horowitz) told Elle that “I don’t use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it…I have my email on my Blackberry, and that’s about it.”

Ryder said that she has an iPad but she’s never used it.  She didn’t buy the thing but got it as a gift from director Ron Howard after they wrapped up The Dilemma.

She prefers holding real books and writing the old fashioned way.  And Ryder doesn’t think she needs that over-information stuff from the web.

“I feel like it’s taking away that great anticipation of seeing a movie. It used to be you’d hear, like, Al Pacino was making a movie, and you wouldn’t know anything about it,” Ryder said. “And nowadays, you know it all, like how much (they) are being paid. I would hate to see a picture of me and the caption reads, ‘Is she worth it?’”

Ryder also mentioned that she has taken less film parts lately because of looking more closely to characters she can relate to.  Ryder accepted the role of an older ballet star, nudged by an ingenue in the film Black Swan because she can relate to the transition.
