I never just slide through anything. I explore everything to the fullest, whether good or bad.
Jessica Lange
Image
My one big regret was that there were no scenes that I could play with Eva Marie Saint. I hounded them. I said figure out some way, I just want to play a scene with this woman. But there was no way to make it work.

I went to the University of Minnesota to study art. I left the university to come to New York and live in Soho.

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.
