Diane Keaton Net Worth

Diane Keaton's Quotes

• I think that people who are famous tend to be underdeveloped in their humanity skills.
• [on her nude scene in Something's Gotta Give (2003)] At this point, does it really matter? Nobody is looking at me the way I once imagined people would look at me, like with deviant thoughts. I think they just go, "Huh. There it is. Intact."
• I find the same thing sexy in a man now as I always have: humor. I love it when they are funny. It's to die for.
• Of course I recognized myself in the roles [Woody Allen] wrote. I mean, in Annie Hall (1977) particularly. I was this sort of novice who had lots of feelings but didn't know how to express herself, and I see that in Annie. I think Woody used a kind of essential quality that he found in me at that time, and I'm glad he did because it worked really well in the movie.
• I build a wall around myself. I'm hard to get to know. Any trait you have, it gets worse as you go along.
