I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts, ‘It’s easier to change directions while you’re still moving.’ If you stop, it’s harder to get started again. I still don’t think I made the wrong decision, but he was right. Debra Winger Read Quote
I don’t believe in careers. I believe in work. I’m not interested in some ‘big picture that would be really good for me’. Debra Winger Read Quote
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. Debra Winger Read Quote
My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s. Debra Winger Read Quote
Never say never, but the thought of electively cutting oneself is beyond my grasp, and I also object to it politically. Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don’t care to make. Debra Winger Read Quote
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. Debra Winger Read Quote
I think it’s a little irresponsible for women who choose surgery to then say they can portray the average woman on the street, because if the average woman can’t afford those treatments, then she’s going to say, ‘I’m 53 and I don’t look like that,’ and start thinking she’s ugly or inadequate.

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. Debra Winger Read Quote
I think when it comes to Botox and surgery, actresses should do it or not do it, but be honest about their choices. Debra Winger Read Quote
