More quotes by Anjelica Huston

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think most actors like to be liked.
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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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.

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

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 have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.
Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
Of course drugs were fun.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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
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 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.

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.

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

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