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.

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!
Diane Lane
Image
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.

Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.
Diane Lane
Image
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.

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.

I loved acting, I started as a child and it is interesting because I didn't compare myself to others that were doing the same thing. I just felt that I needed to stay focused and stay out of trouble.

Image
I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.
Diane Lane
Image
I bought into the myth that you are not complete without romantic love, without a mate. And it can really distract you from your goals. But sometimes you have to take a leap.

Image
For me, going away to work is the hardest part of my life and career.
Diane Lane
Image
I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.

Image
When I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the press I knew it was good copy.

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

Image
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.

I know I've made the right decision when I've followed my heart.

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?

To me, there's no greater reward than being around people you care about and can be present with.

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.
