Debra Winger

I happen to be interested in watching a face age. I like faces of women aging so it makes me personally quite sad. That's a beautiful gift from God. If people don't want to see that anymore then I won't be in anymore movies. ”

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate. ”

I never thought I would start working again, and I did, but it was really hard, and I don't know that I would advise anyone to step back the way I did. ”

You see people on TV flying in to places just to pick up a baby, or brush some flies away. That's great if they can bring that issue to public attention. But that's not what I wanted to do. I was interested in committing to something that I could function in whether I was Debra Winger or not. Because nobody might care about that next week. ”

I never lost my interest in acting but I did lose my interest in the business and what I had to go through to make a film. I felt saturated, you know, like a sponge when it's saturated - it's not good. ”

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam. ”

It's inconceivable to some people that that wouldn't be the sexiest thing to do in the whole world: to be a movie star, and make money, and be pampered, and whatever. ”

I do not need a lot of money to be happy. ”

People who make lots of money at what they do should just shut up about it. ”

I am one of the happiest people I know. And that's a weird place to have arrived at from being a depressed Jewish kid. ”
