Searching for Debra Winger

Whoopi Goldberg:
Longevity is everything. We have outlasted most of the people that used to hire us.

Samantha Mathis:
And the one little part out there that comes along once a year that I'm really excited about doing, there's 30 other women and we're all trying to get that one part.

Ally Sheedy:
Or even if you have to walk in, in a tight fitting shirt and look sexy. You know what I mean? It's like that's what you're about in that scene, that stays with you for the whole day and it goes on and on and on. And then people say 'why are there so many 13 year olds that are bulimic?' Hello.

Martha Plimpton:
Humor. Intelligence. Talent. Imagination. Bravery. Skill. When you eliminate all those things, what have you got?

Ally Sheedy:
F***ability.

Martha Plimpton:
That's it. So you can't blame these people for resorting to that kind of standard when they've annihilated all their other options. At least for men, there are options, character roles, you know what I'm saying?

Rosanna Arquette:
Why did Debra Winger leave this business?

Debra Winger:

Jane Fonda:
But the one thing I miss is when it does work; and as I said it hasn't been that many times out of 49 films, maybe 8 times that I've been in situation like this when you step into the light and you hit your first mark and all of the channels are open and it happens and it's like a plane taking off. You taxi and you take off and you become.
