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 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
Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.
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
Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.
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
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'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
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
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
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.

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
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.
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 very much like doing voiceovers, and I also like doing readings. I do books on tape and stuff. I have fun with it.
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'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

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.

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