Humor helps us get through life with a modicum of grace. It offers one of the few benign ways of coping with the absurdity of it all.

I was cast in this commercial called Hour After Hour. It was for a deodorant that won't wear off. And [Susan Sarandon] became the Hour After Hour girl after me. But I never met her. So I didn't really know Susan till after this movie [ The Big Wedding].

Robert De Niro, even though I've been in two other movies with him, I never really got to know him at all. But on this movie [The Big Wedding] I did.

Robin Williams, another person I didn't know. He is genuinely hilarious.

Being a movie star is a rare job. Nobody gives you any guarantees that you'll get to do it forever. It's a very lucky and privileged position to be in.

Amanda (Seyfried) has this dog that goes everywhere with her.

I build a wall around myself. I'm hard to get to know. Any trait you have, it gets worse as you go along.

Permanence can only be found in the immortality offered by the click of a camera. Like it or not, life moves on as fleetingly as the photograph is enduring.

My mother always said that everyone should be required to write an autobiography of their lives.

I've always loved independent women, outspoken women, eccentric women, funny women, flawed women. When someone says about a woman, 'I'm sorry, that's just wrong,' I tend to think she must be doing something right.

I never understood the idea that you're supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn't something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad, all of it.
Diane Keaton

I said I would never go to a psychiatrist, and I spent much of my life in psychoanalysis.

With Robert De Niro, you're thinking, suddenly he'll do something you don't expect, or he appears and he's kind of slow to get there but then he gets there in a way that nobody does. Everybody is just really, extremely different.

I hadn't been that impressed with someone since I worked with Meryl Streep.
Diane Keaton
Image
I wish I had put myself out there a little bit more and experienced people more instead of protecting myself.
Diane Keaton
Image
The thing is, though, that some of these people are my age, right? And I didn't know them. I didn't know Susan Sarandon. I mean, I'd seen her.

Choosing the freedom to be uninteresting never quite worked for me.

Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child, forget it.

What I like about that is it kind of puts you in your place. Don't count on being remembered. Just live now, you know?

I have younger kids, and I adopted them late in life. They don't know these people [from Annie Hall] at all.

Pretty is a self-serving situation in which it's all about you. People who are pretty are superficial, but they are not beautiful. Beauty requires more depth.
