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

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

I don't really know how to relate to a long-term day-in day-out kind of comfortable relationship.
