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
Image
I want to live my life with no goals anymore, but just completely free, like I did when I was younger.
Jessica Lange
Image
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.

Image
Yes, and you should question your government.

Image
I have made decisions based from purely an actor's point of view.

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.
