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.

More quotes by Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
The terrible thing about acting is the stops and starts.
Anjelica Huston
One of the difficulties of being a writer must be that you create drama that you can't live out. That's one of the wonderful things about acting.
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
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
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 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
Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.
Anjelica Huston
Of course drugs were fun.
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
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
I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
Anjelica Huston
I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.
Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
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
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
Anjelica Huston
I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.
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
