Debra Winger

"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."

"A good marriage is different to a happy marriage."

"It's such an amazing thing to be loved for who you are."

"If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down."

"I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working."

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

"I was never afraid of failure after that because, I think, coming that close to death you get kissed. With the years, the actual experience of course fades, but the flavor of it doesn't. I just had a real sense of what choice do I have but to live fully?"
