More quotes by 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
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
At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
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
At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
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
This idea of selfishness as a virtue, as opposed to generosity: That, to me, is unnatural.
Jessica Lange
To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
Jessica Lange
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.
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
American Horror Story re-energized me it re-energized my career. There’s no shame in recognizing that. It’s exposed me to a whole new generation, which is a little strange. I’m not used to young people thinking I’m cool.
Jessica Lange
I've got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I've done is out there.
Jessica Lange
Don't be absent from your own life.
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.
Jessica Lange
I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.
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
Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.
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
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
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
