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.

More quotes by Jessica Lange
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.

Photography was a blessing because it filled my time.
Jessica Lange
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
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
One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.
Jessica Lange
I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.
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
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
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
To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
Jessica Lange
If Ive got a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt, thats usually a good day for me.
Jessica Lange
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
