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.

More quotes by Diane Lane
My parents treated my like I had a brain - which, in turn, caused me to have one.
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 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.
Diane Lane
It's always refreshing to step into another time.
Diane Lane
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.
Diane Lane
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.
Diane Lane
You can only be a virgin once. There can only be one first time.
Diane Lane
I think the secret to happiness is having a Teflon soul. Whatever comes your way, you either let it slide or you cook with it.
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
I know I've made the right decision when I've followed my heart.
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
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
You'll never have any mental muscle if you don't have any heavy stuff to pick up.
Diane Lane
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
I try not to be overly analytical.
Diane Lane
More yoga in the world is what we need.
Diane Lane
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
For me, I don't even like to promote my films but I have to because it's in the fine print of my contract.
Diane Lane
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
When I was about seven, I started touring the globe as part of New York's La MaMa theater company - without my parents!
