Diane Lane Net Worth

Diane Lane's Quotes

• Even the short men I know appreciate a woman in heels.
• [on her Academy Award nomination (her father Burt Lane, who managed her early career, passed away in February 2002)] The only phone call I really yearn to make is one I can't, which is to say, "Guess what, Dad?".
• [comparing herself to her mother, a former Playboy"magazine centerfold] Mom was better endowed.
• [on on-line dating] 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.
• [on the death of Tony Curtis] I am just a huge fan of his. What he gave to the world will live forever, which is a marvelous gift of this industry.
