Quotes
 Even
the short men I know appreciate a woman in heels.
I
have just enough attention to feel glamorous and important.
I
judged my mother much too harshly for her dating life. Being her only
child, I wanted her completely to myself.
Absolutely
not. I was terrified. No. Actually it never even entered my mind because
I was single by choice. I wasn’t trying to date. I was very busy,
being a single working mom.
Like
with kids, they prefer hiring twins. I have a dog now. I got a dog since
the movie. I had to get a dog. I couldn’t make any more excuses to my
daughter. I’ve been the mom in ‘My Dog Skip’ and this experience
with the dogs.
I
really wanted to see it because it was so bloody popular, and I just
thought, what is that about somebody who can have the gift of being so
timely in what they're telling.
When
I really young yet feeling very old, I offered up a lot of myself to the
press; I knew it was good copy.
Things
do tend to get traded; comfort gets traded for passion for instance. Of
course it doesn't have to be that way and in this movie, Adrian is
really good at telling these cautionary tales of, you know, keeping your
knickers buttoned up.
That
comes up and then it goes away, kind of like a cloud, you know? The
sun’s always shining though. It’s just a question of if I start to
look at it and get analytical I could say, ‘Oh, I didn’t go to
summer camp,’ and various things like that. But I’m an adult a lot
longer than I’m a kid and I’ve gotten to keep my childhood alive a
lot longer than most adults. Do you know what I mean? Especially in my
line of work, my level of maturity.
You
don’t want to find out after a massive investment and falling head
over heels on a superficial level, that there’s some beliefs or things
that… You know what I mean? It could be really disappointing and I
think that would keep people from dating. And this is going to encourage
people to take a step forward.
Well,
I think in this story it is so necessary. There's no way to tell a sexy
movie without there being sex in it - or a sexy movie without it being
sexy. It's part of the context of the story. That's what it is about -
sexual infidelity and what the repercussions are. My comfort level with
it just had to catch up quickly - if I wanted to be the actress to play
it.
The
only phone call I really yearn to make is one I can't, which is to
say" 'Guess what, Dad?'. - Diane Lane talking about her Oscar
nomination (her father Burt Lane, who managed her early career, passed
away February 2002).
Comparing
herself to her Playmate mother; Mom was better endowed.
It's
instinct. I mean it's all you can do to say: well this is my version,
but everybody's got a version of their mother who they want to see, but
I think I did the best I can with that.
Look,
it's so interesting, because being a mom of a daughter - forget about
it. I'm so hyper mama-bear protective: 'In no way is it ever all right
to meet anybody you've (only) ever met on-line! Period! End of story.
Close chapter, end the book.' But in my prickly, paranoid way, I'd say,
'Well don't they kind of pre-screen people at these agencies?' So I like
the fact these services exist, and I think if you're meeting someone
randomly outside the protection of the umbrella, you know you can't say
you weren't warned.
Yes,
it's just instinct. All you can do is say this is my version. Everyone
has a version of their mother that they want to see. I did the best I
could with that. It felt real to me.
I
think it's a case study of the human frailty of being unguarded in your
convictions. You relax too much in your convictions. You become lax and
I think it takes a certain amount of vigilance to remind yourself why
you made the choices you made - and you're sticking with them and being
true to them. That takes two people and it takes homework. It takes
communication and I think that tends to fade with 11 years of marriage.
It's easy to incrementally let things slip away from you.
Despite
the fact that my character runs away to kiss a boy in Venice.
I
think in this story it's so necessary. There is no way of telling or
making a sexy movie without sex in it, without it being sexy or
whatever; it's part of the context of what it's about: sexual infidelity
and its repercussions. |
