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
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
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
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
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
Yes, and you should question your government.
Jessica Lange
Digital doesn't interest me. It's too many steps removed from the actual tactile thing. I still read books. I don't read online.
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
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
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
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
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
This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.
Jessica Lange
I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.
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
It [military action on Iraq] makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States. It is humiliating.
Jessica Lange
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.
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
At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
Jessica Lange
I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one
Jessica Lange
I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.
