Jessica Lange Acting Quotations

One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.

For me, acting was always a way to explore emotions - to dip into the well and really try to reach rock bottom down there. That was the most exciting part of it. I hadn't found anything that really allowed me to do that until I came upon acting.

What I love about photography, and it's the same thing I love about acting, really, is that it forces you, like, right into the moment, where you can't be distracted, where you can't be, like, thinking about other things or ahead of yourself or behind yourself.

If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.

To stay interested in acting, I have to keep trying stuff I've never done before.

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.

I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.
