Diane Keaton says she no longer hopes to find the perfect man.
"When I was younger, I honestly believed that you would find someone who would be the person you lived with until you died," she told More magazine.
"Now I understand that these are episodes we go through with people and they don't all last."
The 55-year-old actress-director, who has been linked with Woody Allen and Warren Beatty, said she regretted having hung on to relationships.
"Now that I'm older, time is valuable," she said.
"You just think, 'Gee, it would have been nice if we had parted a little earlier."'
Keaton adopted her daughter, Dexter, in 1995, and last February she adopted infant Duke.
She is developing a 10-part drama on the women's rights movement for HBO.
