Diane Lane

I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.

Sometimes I think opposable thumbs were invented so teenage girls could use text messaging.

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.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
