More From Diane Lane

Donald trump is doing well. trump is shocking everybody. he's shocking the democrats. he's shocking the republicans. he's shocking world. contrast what's happened here in just the last three days with eight years of barack obama. we have had no apologizing. we've had no bowing. we've had a president of the united states actually tell the heads of state of countries where terrorism is rampant to get rid of it, to drive it out. we've had a president of the united states directly confront iran where his our previous president threw everybody else overboard for iran.

At the end of the day, some authors will endure and most, including some very good ones, will not. why do i think reading is important? it is such an effective medium between mind and mind. we think largely in words. a medium made only of words doesn't impose the barrier of any other medium. it is naked and unprotected communication. that's how you get pregnant. may you always be so.

I watched a lot of silent directors who were absolutely great like john ford and fritz lang, tod browning, and also some very modern directors like the coen brothers. the directors take the freedom within their own movies to be melodramatic or funny when they chose to be. they do whatever they want and they don't care about the genre.

It's entirely to do with personality, i think. there are good directors who talk a lot, bad directors who talk a lot, and good directors who don't say much and vice-versa. it just depends on whether people respond to that personality and whether people have a willingness to do something for them.
Thinking People Personality
Most directors, i discovered, need to be convinced that the screenplay they're going to direct has something to do with them. and this is a tricky thing if you write screenplays where women have parts that are equal to or greater than the male part. and i thought, 'why am i out there looking for directors?'—because you look at a list of directors, it's all boys. it certainly was when i started as a screenwriter. so i thought, 'i'm just gonna become a director and that'll make it easier.'
