Quote

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.

I have my television, my books and that becomes my little world.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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.
Anjelica Huston
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.

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

I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.
Anjelica Huston
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 very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.

Image
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
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.

What you have to remember is that the great feelings come after the terrible ones.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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
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
I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.
Anjelica Huston
Image
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I read much more that I do anything else. I don't watch too much television, because I like books.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.
Anjelica Huston
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.

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.

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.
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.
