1. I've never been the kind of actress whose sole interest was sex appeal, so I think that earns you some longevity. And I like character parts. It's a lot more fun and you don't have to rely on being the taste of the moment. That level of fame is probably very difficult to deal with. People screaming your name in the streets, quite honestly, isn't an audience I'm desperate to capture. I'm lucky. The people who tell me they like my work tend to be the kind of people I might be friends with anyway. I have a really nice audience. 2. I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.
5. It was difficult directing myself. For a woman it's extra-hard because you have to spend an hour and a half in hair and make-up and you're late to set up shots and you're changing clothes in the street and there's no time to recover.
7. Age is not enviable in America. It's not applauded all that strongly. You have to take it all with a grain of salt.
8. I think I'm basically a gypsy. You know, from modeling.
10. Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.
12. (on working with her father John Huston on Prizzi's Honor 1985) We had a great time on "Prizzi's Honor". My father is extremely easy to work with. He chooses his actors, places his confidence in them and lets you get on with it. He is living proof that a director doesn't have to run all over the place.
15. I was actually in my mid-30s when I got the Oscar. And yeah, it does kind of spoil you in terms of the kind of stuff you look for.
16. I like to dance. I probably would have been a dancer. I love music, it's good for the soul and dancing is good for people. I dance on my own, I go to classes, I have that sort of energy. I need to dance. People only need to dance to make them feel happy. What do I think of the Yankees? I'm sorry, I don't follow football.
18. I can't help feeling the world is on this terrible roller coaster where nobody can get it up since the atom bomb.
19. I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.
21. 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.
22. 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.
24. I think most actors like to be liked.
25. I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.
26. 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.
28. It's still possible to find pockets of old Dublin - but its becoming more and more rarified.
29. My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.
31. Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.
32. I was never happily hedonistic. There's no hedonism without a downside.
33. Some people had fathers who were bankers or farmers, my father made films, that's how I saw it. As for the movie stars, they were just around, some of them were friends, others weren't, it was all just a part of my everyday life.
What do you think of Anjelica Huston's quotes?
