Image
I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.
Anjelica Huston
Image
Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.
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
Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.
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
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
Image
I read much more that I do anything else. I don't watch too much television, because I like books.
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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
What you have to remember is that the great feelings come after the terrible ones.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.
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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
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
I think most actors like to be liked.
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.

Image
Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.
Anjelica Huston
Image
Of course drugs were fun.
Anjelica Huston
Image
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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
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.
