There can be no better measure of our governance than the way we treat our children, and no greater failing on our part than to allow them to be subjected to violence, abuse or exploitation.

More quotes by 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
I never just slide through anything. I explore everything to the fullest, whether good or bad.
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
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 a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
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
The only place I've felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There's something in the water there that connects me to that place. There's also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I've never been able to shake.
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 do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.
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
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
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
I love men. I've always been drawn to poets, artists, and madmen. Sometimes all three in one
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
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
Jessica Lange
I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.
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
If Ive got a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt, thats usually a good day for me.
Jessica Lange
Successful model? That's a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise.
Jessica Lange
The thing with psychoanalysis is I know basically what happened in my childhood. I know where things went wrong and I know what my mother said at one point and what my father said at one point.
