What kind of person would run for president of the United States in today's political climate? It would have to be somebody who's never really been drunk in public, who's never had an affair, who never shoplifted when they were a little boy, who never had any sort of counseling at all. I just don't know how you go through your life meeting people, experiencing everything you can, trying to absorb, and not make some of those mistakes. It's impossible.

As far as my work for causes or social issues, that's something I'm doing as a private citizen.

I feel like every movie is definitely the last one that I've had my moment; that I'm going to be selling autographs at malls.

I have such amazing memories [about The Hotel New Hampshire movie], because Tony Richardson was such an amazing director, and the subject matter was so bizarre, and yet it was the most sought-after part at that moment. And then it had the good fortune to come out on the same day as Splash.

It's easy to live in a fantasy world, and that's why I refuse to live in an isolated environment.

We always reminisce about how everyone tried to get Diane Lane's attention, to very little success.
