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 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.

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.

Image
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.

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
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.

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 very much like doing voiceovers, and I also like doing readings. I do books on tape and stuff. I have fun with it.

Image
I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.

Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.

It would probably be very sensible to be in love with someone who was not in the arts and who wasn't so prone to ups and downs. When I think of people who aren't in the arts, I immediately think of politicians for some reason, and I would never want to be with a politician.

Image
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.

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

Image
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.

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

Image
I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I'd always wanted to act, but it was a question of whether acting wanted me and whether the movies wanted me.

Of course drugs were fun.

Image
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.

At a certain point you stop looking at your features, at what you don't look like. You start looking at lines and signs of fatigue rather than at the shape of your mouth.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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.
