Diane, a mother of two and grandmother of five, had also reflected on aging in a 2014 Oprah the Magazine interview. "I surround myself with young people," she told Oprah Winfrey. "I don't feel my age. I mean, I know I am my age, and I don't try to hide it. But I have a lot of energy, and I'm curious about the world. And in any situation in life, I always say, 'Well, how can I help?'"

Diane also admitted that she "always wanted to be older" than her actual age. "I didn't like being a child because I couldn't decide things for myself," she said. "I couldn't wait to grow up. If somebody told me I looked fresh, I would take that as an offense, because I wanted to look like I had lived, with wrinkles. I thought that was glamorous. Then you stop being fresh, and realize you actually liked being fresh."

She added, "If you don't like how you look in a picture, wait 10 years. You'll love it."
