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
My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
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
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
I have my television, my books and that becomes my little world.
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
Of course drugs were fun.

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 loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.

Image
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
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.

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.

Image
Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
Anjelica Huston
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.
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
I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.
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'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.
Anjelica Huston
Image
I like things pretty close around me. I like to know that my house is safe, that the people and animals I love are well and happy. I like to feel as peaceful as possible.
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.
