Winona Ryder says she doesn't go on Internet

Winona Ryder admitted that she doesn't go on the Internet or even own a computer.

The 'Black Swan' actress and two-time Oscar nominee has said that she is old school when it comes to technology.


"I don''t have a computer. I don''t go on the internet. I keep hearing that you can find out anything, which is kind of too bad. Now everyone knows the salaries and the budgets and the troubles. It does take the mystery out," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling USAToday.com.

Though the actress is 39, her looks, as well as her technological savviness (or lack thereof), seem unaffected by the passage of time.

Ryder also said that she still prefers printed books (especially by Philip Roth) in the age of iPads and Kindles.

"I still love something tactile and tangible, turning pages. I got this iPad for my birthday. I can''t imagine reading a book on it. I just can''t imagine looking at a screen and not turning pages. Books are so beautiful to me," she added.

Fame can drive you crazy

Winona Ryder has reportedly revealed that she believes that fame can "drive a person crazy".

The actress admitted that it can all get too much when you read criticism about yourself.

Ryder told The Mirror: "To be looked at and judged, you read something about yourself and you think, 'OK, that's who I am, that's how I should be', it gets very confusing.

"[It] can drive a person crazy, it can!"

Ryder, who plays a ballerina in the new film Black Swan alongside Natalie Portman, added that she had never done ballet before embarking on the role.

She explained: "I haven't had any experience. I've been to the ballet, I saw The Nut Cracker when I was small but that's it!

"We did a photoshoot before I started filming to be on posters when Natalie walks by and even that was so hard to keep those positions."

The star also insisted that she doesn't feel the same ambition as actors who have started their career late in life.

Ryder commented: "I've been asked about ambition before and I don't feel that ambitious because I started so young and it was very fun.

"Both Natalie and I started so young and we didn't really have to go and pound the pavement that much, we don't have that innate ambition of people that start later in their careers."
