I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

More quotes by Anjelica Huston
I'm a collector - I collect everything. I can't throw things away. For some reason I think I'm going to need tiny wooden teddy bears with their arms hacked off.
Anjelica Huston
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
Anjelica Huston
Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
Anjelica Huston
It's certainly what I like best about getting older. You're not up for grabs for criticism anymore. You make a decision, it's made, it's fine, you don't have to go back and rework it. You don't have to apologize.
Anjelica Huston
People say, Why is it that you love to act? And you want to say, Well, most of acting is sitting in your trailer, either bored or worried about the scene coming up. A lot of it is about things you don't really like, so it's a wonder why acting is such a huge draw, why everyone loves it so much.
Anjelica Huston
I like things pretty close around me. I like to know that my house is safe, that the people and animals I love are well and happy. I like to feel as peaceful as possible.
Anjelica Huston
If I were to have any sort of solid idea about which moments were God's manifestations, they would be those moments where one has practically nothing to do with what's going on. It's one of the best feelings in the world.
Anjelica Huston
There have been times when I wanted children and other times I've been grateful not to have them. I am a mess if I have to say goodbye to my dog for longer than five days. I don't know how I would deal with kissing my children as I left for work. I know there are women who are able to do that. I don't know if I could.
Anjelica Huston
Of course drugs were fun. And that's what's so stupid about anti-drug campaigns they don't admit that. I can't say I feel particularly scarred or lessened by my experimentation with drugs. They've gotten a very bad name.
Anjelica Huston
I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.
Anjelica Huston
Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all just a part of my everyday life.
Anjelica Huston
Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.
Anjelica Huston
I do like the ocean wave, actually. I'm born under the sign of Cancer - the sign of the crab - so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such - although not the wide-open and deep seas.
Anjelica Huston
The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.
Anjelica Huston
I get irritated when people counsel me on what I should do with my life, or tell me I should get married, or tell me what I should do. I think people have their role models for happiness and it helps if others fit into that.
Anjelica Huston
What I like to think, and perhaps it is an adolescent thought, is that anything can happen. As long as you think that anything can happen, it will. We're all allowed to have our dreams.
Anjelica Huston
My father was extremely loving to me and funny and wise and understanding, and at other times extremely demanding, critical, calculating, exacting. When you're a young woman, I think you want to please a lot, so maybe you accept more of the criticism than you would as an older person. But criticism can be very wounding. It certainly was to me.
Anjelica Huston
I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.
Anjelica Huston
I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.
Anjelica Huston
I was always reticent about taking offerings from my father, and I think it was maybe because I felt the caveat was that I had to give something back, and I didn't like that position. But I've never felt incumbent on anyone to kind of keep them lifted or to support them, necessarily. I do that by wish or by option.
Anjelica Huston
