An actor definitely has to be in the past a well as the present an actor must react to past experiences every minute, every second.
Anjelica Huston
Image
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

Of course drugs were fun.

Image
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.

Image
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
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.

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.

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

Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

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

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.

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.
