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 have an incredibly supportive family.

As you get older, the cliches of life ring true. It's the simple things that matter most: your family, the people you love, your health and sanity.

My decision to look seriously at elected office is grounded in a deep commitment to public service and my experience - both my own and that of my family - in finding just, practical, and bipartisan solutions to difficult challenges.

That's my family; we have a very British sense of humour, very dry.
