Diane Keaton Once Admitted That the End Was ‘In Sight’ While Reflecting on Getting Older

On Saturday, October 11, Hollywood was rocked by the news that acting legend Diane Keaton had passed away at the age of 79.

While details surrounding her death are currently unknown, Keaton was open about her feelings on getting older, even once admitting that aging had given her a new sense of freedom.

“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older,” the Book Club actress told AARP in 2012. “Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. The goal is to continue in good and bad times, all of it.”

“To continue to express myself, particularly. To feel the world. To explore. To be with people. To take things far. To risk. To love,” she continued. “I just want to know more and see more.”

“The best part is that I’m still here and, because the end is in sight,” the First Wives Club star added. “I treasure it all more.”

Keaton was mom to kids Dexter, 29 and Duke, 25. Her loved ones have requested privacy at this time.
