I think that directing is the ultimate martyred task of filmmaking, that it has nobility to it. It takes three years to make a film, for the most part. I think it requires the attentiveness of a mother hen.

More quotes by Diane Lane
When I was about seven, I started touring the globe as part of New York's La MaMa theater company - without my parents!
Diane Lane
Every film is its own experience, its own planet, its own family. It seems infinite when you're working on it, and then it's suddenly very finite, and it's done.
Diane Lane
To me, there's no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with.
Diane Lane
Blessings come in disguise. And challenges can be a blessing.
Diane Lane
I can tell you that, you know, when I went to my first movie premiere, it was my own movie, and I wore the best jeans I had and my favorite top. You know, I made sure my hair had some wave in it because I braided it the night before myself.

Diane Lane
More yoga in the world is what we need.
Diane Lane
I don't want to live in a bubble, in my craft or in the world... I can't, I would be cheating myself out of my generation and the world we live in.
Diane Lane
I don't know what it is, exactly, but there's a negative drag on film sets after the second week or so, a mutinous vibe because the infinite capacities of the directors and everybody else become quite finite and everybody's under the gun and it becomes work.
Diane Lane
One of my favorite parts of myself is my motherhood aspect, it just turned out to be the best thing about my life [Laughs], the most rewarding and deepening, so I have a delight in portraying mothers.
Diane Lane
I love the rebelliousness of snail mail, and I love anything that can arrive with a postage stamp. There's something about that person's breath and hands on the letter.
Diane Lane
You can only be a virgin once. There can only be one first time.
Diane Lane
I think I'd be in an entirely different business if it were easy.
Diane Lane
Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.
