She told Entertainment Weekly in 2006 that she'd rather not work than do a bad film. Ryder has an eclectic mix of works-in-progress, including The Ten, a satirical look at the ten commandments, and Sex and Death 101, written and directed by Daniel Waters,
the screenwriter of Heathers. Waters and Ryder have also discussed creating a sequel to Heathers sometime in the future.
During her more than 20 years as a performer, Ryder has been romantically linked to several different actors and musicians, including Johnny Depp and Dave Pirner from the band Soul Asylum. She and Depp were even engaged for a time in 1990s, and he had her name tattooed on his arm.
