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.

More quotes by Jessica Lange
If Ive got a clean pair of jeans and a T-shirt, thats usually a good day for me.
Jessica Lange
I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.
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
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
Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.
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
At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
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
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
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
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.
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
Moments of pure happiness...come upon you unexpectedly. Don't be too preoccupied to experience them.
Jessica Lange
I take a jazz class and I also take just a regular exercise class with a man who gives me acupressure treatments. It's just stretching and elongating the muscles.
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
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 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
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
Jessica Lange
I worked on my voice for 'Sweet Dreams' but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy's actual singing voice. That was my way into that character.
