If I were to have any sort of solid idea about which moments were God's manifestations, they would be those moments where one has practically nothing to do with what's going on. It's one of the best feelings in the world.
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
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.

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

Image
I am a person whose father had no religion but who went to the nuns for a couple of years. And I think I'm the same: On one hand, I pray on the other hand, I don't believe. I am constantly between the two.

Writing must certainly be one of the hardest professions - writing and painting.
Anjelica Huston
Image
What you have to remember is that the great feelings come after the terrible ones.
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.

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

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.

Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.
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.

I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.
