If people knew what made hits they'd make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one's career isn't something I can even pretend to have.

What happens between action and cut for me is a blur, I go almost into a whiteout, and then I see the film and I'm like, Oh that's what I did? Cool!

I think I'd be in an entirely different business if it were easy.

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.

You really can't take a cat and turn it into a dog, or try and get lemons off an apple tree, or what have you.

You can only be a virgin once. There can only be one first time.

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.

I would say chemistry between two people is very powerful. You have to fight to keep it, but if you don't have it, you can't manufacture it.
Diane Lane
Image
I don't really know how to relate to a long-term day-in day-out kind of comfortable relationship.

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. I don't know how people raise children and direct films. I'm sorry, I don't know, how can you be good at both?

For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career.

My roles are in some way like children to me. You don't ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.

I grew up loving horses. I was relatively obsessed, starting with my rocking horse at age 2, all the way through my painting and drawing phase.

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.

I take comfort that aging happens to everybody. It's part of life. Aging offers great lessons in dignity, since the indignity wins in the end. Yes, it bothers me when I have lines or puffiness or droops. But it connects me with the human race. Like weather bringing people together, aging brings people together.
