Quote

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.

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
Image
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.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

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.

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
Image
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.

Image
I could be making a lot more money now if I had chosen a different kind of movie, but none of that matters to me... I've done the parts I wanted to do.
Jessica Lange
Image
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
Image
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
Jessica Lange
Image
I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.

At certain times you really feel as though you have to do something.
Jessica Lange

Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.

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.

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.

Yes, and you should question your government.

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.
