Diane Lane

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

I have just enough attention to feel glamorous and important. ”

We live our whole lives, and in our dying moment, we have to ask ourselves, 'What did we really care about? What impact did we make on the world?' The older I get, the more I realize the answers have to do with how we affect and love the people around us. ”

I've got a lot of mileage, and I love my mileage. I wouldn't trade a mile of that for a minute of being younger. ”

My relationship with aging is cozy. I'm not trying to play 29 and holding on with white knuckles, you know? ”

To be honest, relationships with the opposite sex are the most challenging things I've done. You lose your compass, gravity changes, you don't know what's up or down, you're trying to figure it out. You're trying to make everybody happy, including yourself, and it's just... it's humbled me. ”

I love my work, but there is no price you can put on what you miss when you are away from your kids. ”

Love is saying you're sorry. It's the opposite of those cherub posters that say, 'Love is never having to say you're sorry.' Wrong! Love is three sorrys a day. If you haven't met that quota, something's wrong. ”

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