“At times she's so basic, at others so wise it frightens me that I got so far in this world without the benefit of such knowledge.”
Diane Keaton
“Choosing the freedom to be uninteresting never quite worked for me.”

“We can't save the past or solve the riddle of love. But to me, it's worth trying.”
Diane Keaton
“That's what I learned. I learned I couldn't shed light on love other than to feel its comings and goings and be grateful.”
Diane Keaton
“What is perfection, anyway? It's the death of creativity, that's what I think, while change on the other hand, is the cornerstone of new ideas. God knows I want new ideas and new experiences”
Diane Keaton
“I want to hold my life up alongside hers in order to, as she wrote, reach a point where i begin to see me-and her-in a more understandable light.”
Diane Keaton
“This living stuff is a lot. Too much, and not enough. Half empty, and half full.”
Diane Keaton
“Before I opened my computer in the parking lot today, I relived one of my favorite memories. It's the one with Woody and me sitting on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum after it's closed. We're watching people parade out of the museum in summer shorts and sandals. The trees to the south are planted in parallel lines. The water in the fountain shoots up with a mist that almost reaches the steps we sit on. We look at silver-haired ladies in red-and-white-print dresses. We separate the mice from the men, the tourists from the New Yorkers, the Upper East Siders from the West Siders. The hot-pretzel vendor sells us a wad of dough in knots with clumps of salt stuck on top. We make our usual remarks about the crazies and wonder what it would be like to live in a penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue overlooking the Met. We laugh and say the same things we always say. We hold hands and keep sitting, just sitting, as the sun beings to set. It's a perfect afternoon.”

“...I also have an extended family. The people who stayed. The people who became more than friends; the people who open the door when I knock. That's what it all boils down to. The people who have to open the door, not because they always want to but because they do.”
