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
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.
Jessica Lange
Image
I never just slide through anything. I explore everything to the fullest, whether good or bad.
Jessica Lange
Image
I had a big family - two older sisters and a younger brother. My family was like moving around a lot so I lived in a lot of small towns. My father was very restless.
Jessica Lange
Image
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
Jessica Lange
Image
I like playing characters who are out there on the edge, where they can explode at any moment or fall off the precipice.
Jessica Lange
Image
The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.
Jessica Lange
Image
When you think about it there's never really been a realistic exposition of Hollywood, I mean - from the inside - showing Hollywood what it can do, what it has done, to people.
Jessica Lange
Image
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
Jessica Lange
Image
This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.
Jessica Lange
Image
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.
Jessica Lange
Image
TV is sort of the only way to go for an actress my age to make a decent salary with independent films, you just can't.
Jessica Lange
Image
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.
Jessica Lange
Image
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
Image
I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.
Jessica Lange
Image
I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.
Jessica Lange
Image
Successful model? That's a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise.
Jessica Lange
Image
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
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.

To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership.
