Jessica Lange gave the commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College.

Her key thoughts shared with graduates:

"We are all citizens of a troubled world. ... That legacy is being passed directly down to you. ... the celebration of mediocrity and false celebrity. ... I encourage you not to buy into it. . . .

I would encourage you with all my heart to be present.

Life is a collection of moments.

Don't constrain yourself with expectations of success.

Success will be a by-product of the life you lead.

... And all success is individual."
