"While cats can be infuriating, little old women in fur coats, they make me laugh. Of course, dogs, horses and my highly social chickens are dear to me, too." "About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all."

I was relatively obsessed, starting with my rocking horse at age 2, all the way through my painting and drawing phase."― Diane Lane
