To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.
From Jessica Lange
To work on the actual location I think is great. This thing of going to Canada and pretending you're in New York, it's terrible.
To work with a director that has emotional commitment and passion toward the characters, and the piece, and the experiences, it only enriches your work.
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.
We are not the originators of the story. I think it's actually the opposite when you're an actor. You're telling somebody else's story.
When I am home for like a two-year stretch, I get antsy, because I want to work.
All through life I've harbored anger rather than expressed it at the moment.
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.
I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next.
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.
