More From Diane Keaton

I wish i hadn't worked so hard; i wish i'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me; i wish i'd had the courage to express my feelings; i wish i had stayed in touch with my friends; and i wish i had let myself be happier. it's an extraordinary list of getting in your own way, isn't it?
True Life Feelings Wish
I had a lot of time to myself, and i would listen to a lot of music, mostly music that i knew fairly well and had a relationship with. and i'd think, well, what is it that i've never been able to do that this person or people are able to do with this song? why haven't i been able to do it, and what can they do that i wish i could do? and then i'd try to do that. i'd start each day getting into the songs, and i'd think about how i might get closer to this music that i love, but haven't been able to make before.
Song Writing Thinking
I spent my whole childhood watching open-wheel racing. i spent years going to england and racing open wheel, coming back and racing open wheel. it's been my world for 20 years and beyond that. for almost my whole life, i've been watching it. i watch it and i think i know how to do it.
Thinking Years Childhood
If cathedrals had been universities if dungeons of the inquisition had been laboratories if christians had believed in character instead of creed if they had taken from the bible only that which is good and thrown away the wicked and absurd if temple domes had been observatories if priests had been philosophers if missionaries had taught useful arts instead of bible lore if astrology had been astronomy if the black arts had been chemistry if superstition had been science if religion had been humanity the world then would be a heaven filled with love, and liberty and joy
Christian Art Taken
You can be an artist without visual images, a reader without eyes, a mass of erudition with a bad elementary memory. in almost any subject your passion for the subject will save you. if you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. if you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
Memories Eye Passion
You have often seen in the cinema, erich, haven't you, that between extraordinary people extraordinary things like for example extraordinary love can arise. so we only have to be extraordinary and see what happens.

Mean Thinking People
The people around me haven't changed. the people who have been in my life since the beginning are still in my life now. i think that has a lot to do with my staying grounded and humble despite the success i've achieved.
Humble Thinking People
