More quotes by Debra Winger
I need my family to remind me in a loving and nice way to lighten up.
Debra Winger
I started out in stand-up when I was 18, which is really masochistic, and I did it really till I started going in movies. I did it for about three years out in LA.
Debra Winger
I remember the old joke, while women are deciding which schools the kids go to, where you're going to live, how the money's going to be spent, and where your health care is coming from, the men are out standing around the barbecue solving all the big world problems. So I think this is a well known fact and we're not breaking any new ground here.
Debra Winger
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
I make decisions for my life, not the other way around. Besides, when you have a kid, you must weigh everything against time with your child.
Debra Winger
Denying the lines on our faces makes a comment about age and wisdom I don't care to make.
Debra Winger
Just because we're on schedule is no reason to shoot bad acting. Someone once said to me, 'You're inconsiderate.' And I said, 'Inconsiderate? Bad acting is the ultimate inconsideration.' It's a collective slap to a million faces at the same time.
Debra Winger
I think that we definitely deal with that issue and don't ignore it, the issue of drink, but that's not where it ends. I just think that what the fear is that you think alcoholic writer or whatever and you forget the intelligence that can be present. I mean so many people just write off someone who drinks as one thing.
Debra Winger
It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are.
Debra Winger
The minute we have a pain, we want a diagnosis. So I think the minute we feel love, it's very hard to just let it be. We want to identify it, we want to catalog it, we want to keep the thing and create the environment it happened in. That's where marriage comes from! Let's make an institution out of it!
Debra Winger
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
But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
Debra Winger
People who make lots of money at what they do should just shut up about it.
Debra Winger
I guess what I have to say is, Don't do it. I don't recommend it, because, having said that, the people that should do it will do it anyway, despite the fact that I've said not to do it. Only the ones who've said, Oh, she said not to do it, aren't going to do it, and they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Debra Winger
I became an actor because I couldn't not.
Debra Winger
I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
Debra Winger
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.
Debra Winger
I have enjoyed a wonderful run in films, so far, and I may, at some point, come back. But it will be in my own time and in my own style.
Debra Winger
Actors always want you to believe something else even though that's the truth and to do that well it's almost a dying art.
Debra Winger
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.
Debra Winger
