Quote

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.

I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.

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.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.

Rather than go from one life to another, I think I live a lot of lives at the same time. I've done that ever since I was a child. It seemed that I was inhabited by some B movie.

Of wanting to pay my own way. I never asked my parents for money. I preferred to steal from my parents than ask them for money.

Image
I don't have all that great an awareness of how people see me in life. I don't find myself thinking about it a lot.

I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

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.

Image
I think all actors - they'll hate me for saying this - but we are babies. We like to be loved, and we'll do anything if we're loved.

Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.

It was great to work in Ireland because it's such a beautiful country, but it's not particularly easy to film in because the weather changes all the time.

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.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking Program achieved for me a thing that I thought was not possible - to give up a thirty year smoking habit literally overnight. It was nothing short of a miracle.

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.

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 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.

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
