Diane Lane Extended Interview | The Jennifer Hudson Show

you've been really busy I've been working last year was a work year now I have to all the fruits of the labors come out yeah different years right it's yes because do you ever watch your projects back do I watch them yeah well I have to watch them in order to be able to speak about them because you never know what the editor has done that is true is that a good trick should I do that cuz sometime I was T when I started out like don't look back at the work so but oh look back back yeah like oh well I mean some times it's on when you look how old I am turning the channel that's the international symbol for changing the channel still is it this now oh my goodness that could be your phone you never know congrats on the success of Feud I heard he getting any buz I beg your pardon yeah that's nice that's a good four-letter word oh my goodness and then Inside Out is another project like you say I love that movie and we have been waiting and waiting for this film to come out I can't wait to see it I just yeah it's lovely to work grateful for work and it's about a teenager and and emotions do you remember when like what do you recall when you were a teenager myself or raising one because both it kind of Cu I have a teenager right now okay okay yes so okay well your daughter how is your daughter uh she's uh ask me not to Diel that if people want to know her age then they could ask her themselves that's what she told me anything like you when you were a teenager oh yeah well I mean I hope not but I'll never know occasionally she'll tell me stories be like oh I could tell you now Mom I could tell you now you didn't know you know I was like okay it makes sense I had that one coming chickens come home to Rose but you know I I I loved her so much and she loved me but it was so much fun to embarrass her because it was so easy to do at that age and it driving in the car and she just kept saying this same phrase over and over to me and I said that's I'm going to rename you I'm going to legally change your name to God Mom stop I love that that was the best response well touche I'm still dining out on the story so she's she's accepted me fully now and appreciates my embarrassment but you see yeah cuz my son he's 14 now and everything I do embarrasses him so will that go away ever even this will embarrass him oh yeah I know is there any Escape around it that I don't my inner 14-year-old is still with me okay is your inner 14-year-old so right I'm compassion for the 14year olds so you were a teenager in Hollywood do you remember what your first Hollywood party was like I remember the first um coming to Los Angeles for the first film to come out I was 14 years old and uh it's so interesting because I just wore my favorite Je jeans and my favorite shirt and I braided my hair the night before so it would be wavy and uh and that was it for the Glam Squad for me what kind of party was it well I don't know was Lawrence Olivier was there he was in the film a little romance and um and um I don't know it just was all I wanted to do was Meet Peter Frampton I heard he was there uhhuh did she get to meet him I did I got a photo with him okay I and years later I found the paparazzo who took the photo and he said here and he pulled it out in a red carpet years later and I was so fulfilled a my inner 14-year-old she had her way good and youed to have the photo yes it's it's among my are precious and I love a photo now I want to get into because I love some music too I heard you wanted to be a DJ originally oh that was one of my childhood fantasies didn't we all want to be on the radio and choosing the songs that everybody gets to enjoy I love your DJing here I have a good time we doing good yes I have fun watching the show dancing in my kitchen thank you but uh yeah privately only ever might embarrass my inner 14-year-old um but anyway yeah I you know radio DJ not a not a party DJ that's a whole other kettle of fish uh but you know yeah that that was my fantasy job I don't know did you ever Pursuit at all no I was completely introverted about all of that stuff cuz I used to make believe a so you know well I made recordings the radio okay they're now they're called mixtapes so I thought one day I was going to have a great my my girlfriend and I we'd have the microphones and we' do those goofy radio uh commercials yeah that was half the fun I love that is anyone in your family musical my mom would sing she's not with me anymore but she was a singer she pursued that and I got to take her to see her hero Sarah vaugh wow at the New Orleans JazzFest in 1985 I'll never forget it can you tell us about men and fool what what do you want to know I mean it's a fantastic show I we have Regina King is one of our directors fantastic as a director i' love to work with her for her and hope to get on camera with her one day and Tommy schami was also our our director of the other three episodes I got to work with him on House of Cards and so it's fun to work with people again uh I play Jeff Daniels character's exwife I think you might have seen the clip from earlier you so just a little grief just a little oh my goodness but it's it's good I I think of it as sort of a morality tale there's a whole world in Atlanta and it's taking down this man and and he's fighting back the best he can and you always wonder if people are going to make the right choice are the wrong choice and they're constantly being afforded these opportunities and you just hope that they make the right choice but they you know that's the drama you you you get the drama cuz you seem so forceful on the screen and here you just seem so sweet like where do you pull from like for your characters oh I appreciate that question cuz you vibed me and I'm I'm a bit of an introvert really uh it's so different yeah but sometimes us introverts we get Ang it's it goes to 11 on the dial it's like too big it's too big like you from zero to yeah like you you play nice and then you flip a table and you're like I'm sorry I didn't mean to flip the table I was just a little upset but you know so I don't modulate very well which is great as an actor because you can give a lot and it's better to give a lot and have them say could you just dial it back a little yes cuz for years I would watch my work and I thought that's just too subtle that's too subtle more in DMB yes I think that that well that's what I'm doing now you let me know how it's going Jennifer it it's worlds aart it's like wait that character was fierce right y'all and then now it's like but that's a true actress I caught it okay okay it is amazing okay now another thing you say you bring your own food and slippers to sent tell us about that that got out yes it's true I do because I understand you feet and shoe and heel time and I'm all I'm all in yes I mean I've had the foot surgery I've done the heel decades and now I do my heels sitting yes or or like here's your red carpet moment and now I'm going to sit some more in those shoes I totally feel you I have this idea for the red carpets y'all because at a point it becomes heel time and once we get to a certain section our feet are done okay so Diane this is what I think I think they need to have a section called sitting think about it a picture oh you sitting honey get it and we're resting our feet yes is that a good idea I like it I like it y'all hear us or B okay okay now I got one more question have you ever taken any props from the sets before like as a keep set is that out on me as well all well I mean no I don't normally uh theve from my film sets but occasionally I'll look and see what has been chosen that is supposed to be my characters and sometimes it happens late in the game you get to set and I'm so impressed and I thought I wish I'd read half of these books and so I did I I I took a book off the shelf and it was glorious steams of Revolution within it is good I recommend it and I opened it up and it said to Colleen which is my mother's maiden name and I thought I've I've got to steal this book it was meant and I I wish my mother had read it but anyway I when I got to go to Glorious Dam's 80th birthday I brought the book and asked her to sign it to me so she did and so it says to Colleen as if it were my mother but it wasn't uh some other random person also named Colleen but she said and now to Diane also so it was Full Circle she she she played she played along maybe it was from your mother and it was meant for you to have yes I think so if you like this video smash that like
