More quotes by Jessica Lange
At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
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
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

Jessica Lange
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.
Jessica Lange
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
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.
Jessica Lange
I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.
Jessica Lange
I want to live my life with no goals anymore, but just completely free, like I did when I was younger.
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
I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one
