Quote

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.

I went to the University of Minnesota to study art. I left the university to come to New York and live in Soho. I got involved with like a small kind of like experimental theater-mime company and we discovered that Étienne Decroux, a great mime, was still teaching in Paris so I went to study with him for several years.

As an actor, you have to have trust and believe that somebody is taking care of you or watching your back. With a part like this, especially with where we're going with it, I can't pull any punches. I can't do it halfway, especially when you're dealing with madness and this descent into madness.

The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake.
Jessica Lange
Image
Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.

Photography was a blessing because it filled my time.
Jessica Lange

I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.

Don't be absent from your own life.
Jessica Lange
Image
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
Jessica Lange
Image
There can be no better measure of our governance than the way we treat our children, and no greater failing on our part than to allow them to be subjected to violence, abuse or exploitation.
Jessica Lange
Image
I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

Once I started on 'Frances' I discovered it was literally a bottomless well. It devastated me to maintain that for eighteen weeks, to be immersed in this state of rage for twelve to eighteen hours a day. It spilled all over, into other areas of my life.

For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
Jessica Lange
Image
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.

I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one
