Winona’s method acting

Winona Ryder says that she starved herself in order to cry on camera while playing the emotional charged role of Sandra in ‘The Private Lives of Pippa Lee’.
Winona says:
“I try to fill up on food in the morning because I won’t eat much for the rest of the day. Especially with this movie, it’s hard to stay really emotional on a full stomach. Like there has to be this weird craving going on if you have to cry. It’s a weird thing.”
Winona also said she was nervous about incorporating both humor and drama in the character:
” Part of what made me nervous about playing the part was the humour of the drama and making that work. I was very nervous and insecure about pulling it off. But then, I could use the insecurity because Sandra is insecure.”
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is set for release on July 10 2009

Hey, give her a big bag and checker as she comes out. She really cries when busted for shop lifting.
