Debra Winger's quotes

[on her early roles in commercials] I was the all-American face. You name it, honey - American Dairy Milk, Metropolitan Life insurance, McDonald's, Burger King. The Face That Didn't Matter - that's what I called my face.
I have trouble with star billing. I remember thinking on Cannery Row (1982): How can I put my name ahead of Steinbeck's?
[on being labeled "difficult"] It was like armor. It kept the fainthearted at a distance. But perhaps I was too tough.
[on Urban Cowboy (1980)]: I loved it. It was the opening of everything for me because of the way James Bridges worked: the freedom, the collaboration, the end product. It was a slice of life, that movie. I'm real proud of it.
[on her film debut in Slumber Party '57 (1976)] A cigar-smoking agent had signed me while I was waitressing, but that only resulted in a blue movie.
[on An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)] I run in to Richard Gere quite a lot and he half jokes, 'Are you still saying terrible things about me?'
[In 2010, 17 years after her Oscar-nominated performance in Shadowlands (1993) came out, she told the "New York Times"] It was the most literate script I've ever read. I was sad every day that I wouldn't ever say those lines again.
Acting is something that always came very naturally to me. I've honed certain skills, and I'm always learning new things from the different directors that I work with.
[on the producers of An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)] They were pigs. They were terrible. And I was terrible back.
If you want to get a face-lift, get a face-lift. Don't sit there and talk about why you got it because of the pressure.
I wish my mood swings were due to drugs, because then all I'd have had to do is stop taking them.
[on producing Big Bad Love (2001)] The endless phone calls! Sometimes I think I could slash my wrist. But it takes six minutes and 55 seconds for your blood to circulate out of your body, and my family won't leave me alone long enough.
