Diane Keaton prefers onscreen love

Diane Keaton dated many of her leading men off-screen, but she says she prefers to fall in love onscreen.
"You know where it's going, and you can just enjoy it for what it is," she tells Time magazine. "Real life is complicated. On screen, you know what the lines are. Everybody's doing what they're supposed to do. He's not gonna surprise you."

The 59-year-old actress credits her listening skills in making relationships work with Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty.

"I was a good listener. But then that wears off. They get bored," she says.

Keaton plays a mother in the upcoming "The Family Stone," about a Manhattan career woman played by Sarah Jessica Parker who gets a cold reception from her fiancé's family.

Keaton's not surprised by the lack of sexy roles for women over 50 despite the success of "Something's Gotta Give," for which she was nominated for an Oscar.

"It requires somebody who's a good writer who wants to write about that subject," she says. "Who is gonna do that? George Lucas? I don't think so. I'd have to be an alien, a sexy, older alien."

It took me a long time to warm up to this woman, but now I love her. She is just so cool.
