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
Image
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
Image
I think I'd be in an entirely different business if it were easy.
Diane Lane
Image
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
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.
Diane Lane
Image
Independent films have a very different cachet than success films.
Diane Lane
Image
Because I tend to kind of hide under the sheets when it comes to reality television. I've seen probably one episode of maybe five different shows, and that's about it.
Diane Lane
Image
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?
Diane Lane
Image
Because that's what intimacy is: It's a willingness to be vulnerable, a willingness to bite my tongue and a willingness to set an example of what I believe in.
Diane Lane
Image
My roles are in some way like children to me. You don't ever really want to scrape one off your shoe.
Diane Lane
Image
There is something wonderful about coming to terms with time - that it is finite. You want to have as much joy in your life as possible, and you take responsibility for your own joy.
Diane Lane
Image
I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.
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.
Diane Lane
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.
Diane Lane
Image
I know I've made the right decision when I've followed my heart.
Diane Lane
Image
Catholics have guilt and Jews have guilt, fine. But mothers can trump them all.
Diane Lane
Image
I don't really know how to relate to a long-term day-in day-out kind of comfortable relationship.
Diane Lane
Image
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.

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.

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