More quotes by Jessica Lange
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.
Jessica Lange
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
Jessica Lange
I love being a mother. I loved being a daughter, a sister, a wife. I love being a woman with men. I love having given birth.
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.
Jessica Lange
It took Sydney Pollack a long time to get me to do Tootsie. I asked myself if I wanted to play some frothy, ditzy character after I had just done Frances. Obviously, I'm thrilled that I did.
Jessica Lange
To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
Jessica Lange
Photography was a blessing because it filled my time.
Jessica Lange
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
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
Jessica Lange
Sometimes parts just come along when it's the perfect time for you to do them.
Jessica Lange
I take a jazz class and I also take just a regular exercise class with a man who gives me acupressure treatments. It's just stretching and elongating the muscles.
Jessica Lange
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.
Jessica Lange
At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
Jessica Lange
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
When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.
Jessica Lange
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
Moments of pure happiness...come upon you unexpectedly. Don't be too preoccupied to experience them.
Jessica Lange
Yes, and you should question your government.
Jessica Lange
I worked on my voice for 'Sweet Dreams' but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.
Jessica Lange
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.
Jessica Lange
