At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.
From Jessica Lange
Because Shakespeare's language is so expansive, we're under this misconception that it's difficult. But I discovered that it's easy because it's so brilliantly written. The words are perfect, and the language is intelligent and very emotional.
For me, nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.
I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.
I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.
I have been a waitress, and I was a damn fine waitress too, let me tell you.
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.
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.
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've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.
