I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.

There was a period of time when I was very political, when I was at the university. It was like the late '60s, early '70s and I was a dissident like everybody else I guess. Now I follow it but there's nothing that really grabs me. The most fascinating thing to me right now is China.

Don't be absent from your own life.
Jessica Lange
American Horror Story re-energized me it re-energized my career. There’s no shame in recognizing that. It’s exposed me to a whole new generation, which is a little strange. I’m not used to young people thinking I’m cool.
Jessica Lange
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.
Jessica Lange
Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.
Jessica Lange
If I didn't have children I'd be a much better actress. I wouldn't be so distracted. I could pour 100 percent of my energies into it, to promote the investigation which acting is.
Jessica Lange
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
Jessica Lange
I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.

I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.

So much of my sense of who I am is tied to mothering. When they left home, I fell into a huge, empty, black hole. Your children are grown and your career has slowed down - all the stuff that took up so much attention is gone, and you're left with expansive time and space.
