You know what I did? I turned down an offer to do 'Enemy of the People' with Steve McQueen. It doesn't matter that the film was never really released. A movie like that, successful or not, adds to your credits. It leads to other roles. Diane Ladd addcreditenemy share on social
For 30 years, which I never talked about in Hollywood, I actually worked with doctors lecturing and doing some medical intuitive counseling both in a medical setting and for the community at large. Diane Ladd communitycounselingdoctor Change image and share on social
I wanted to do 'Texas Trilogy' on stage. But it didn't do well in New York. In fact, it did very badly there, thanks to the critics. It was said that Preston Jones, the author, died of ulcer complications, but the truth was that the critics killed him. Diane Ladd authorbadlycomplication share on social
I really can't stand not to be loved. I really can't. If I walk into a room and feel there are people who don't really like me, I have to leave. Diane Ladd feelleavelove Change image and share on social

It took 17 years to get 'Rambling Rose' made from the time Calder Willingham wrote the script adapted from his novel. Ed Scherick, the producer, was interested in it. Martha Coolidge was interested in directing it. Diane Ladd adaptcaldercoolidge share on social
What the advertisers are trying to do by eliminating residuals is the most appalling form of greed that I cry thinking about it. Diane Ladd advertiserappallcry Change image and share on social
Did any agents ever put Diane Ladd up for some of the great parts, even though she always got great reviews? No! But do they put up the girlfriend of the studio executive who's gonna do them a favor later? You betcha. Diane Ladd agentbetchadiane share on social
To work with someone you love is something special, an incredible experience. But it could be a negative. You have to make a strong commitment to be honest; you're not just being polite, like strangers on an airplane; you're working. Diane Ladd airplanecommitmentexperience share on social
