Exercised Over Debra Winger

A quote: “(Debora) Winger’s cabin in the outback of New Mexico was her favorite hideaway. . . . One doesn’t sense she’s very rural; the mind is always working.”

What exactly does this mean?

Are the minds of “rural” people never working?

Just what kind of airhead was Henry David Thoreau, anyway?
