Anjelica Huston Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Anjelica Huston:

It's the nature of an actor to have to use sense memory.

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

I do like the ocean wave, actually. I'm born under the sign of Cancer - the sign of the crab - so I like coastal areas and sunny beaches and such - although not the wide-open and deep seas.

Anjelica Huston

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.

Anjelica Huston

I'm happy to do voice-overs. I always have a good time doing them. I like to explore vocal nuance and accents and different people, different personalities. In a way, it is a lot more freeing than having your face up there.

Anjelica Huston

I'm very fond of doing movies where men fight over me. I don't get to do enough.

Anjelica Huston

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

I was a lonely child. My brother Tony and I were never very close, neither as children nor as adults, but I was tightly bound to him. We were forced to be together because we were really quite alone. We were in the middle of the Irish countryside, in County Galway, in the West of Ireland, and we didn't see many other kids.

Anjelica Huston

I know certainly, when one job draws to a close, that I feel I'm simply never going to work again. No one will ever want me for anything ever again. I think that's a vulnerable moment in every actor's life, and it happens every time you finish a film.

Anjelica Huston

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

I must confess I love female writers: Jane Austen, Isak Dinesen, Colette, Willa Cather, Dawn Powell, Joan Didion. I grew up on the Bronte sisters, and Daphne du Maurier.

Anjelica Huston

My biggest ambition is never to be bored. I'm not aggressive enough to strongly run after being an actress.

Anjelica Huston

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

I've always thought with relationships, that it's more about what you bring to the table than what you're going to get from it. It's very nice if you sit down and the cake appears. But if you go to the table expecting cake, then it's not so good.

Anjelica Huston

I think most actors like to be liked.

Anjelica Huston

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

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.

Anjelica Huston

Where there is age there is evolution, where there is life there is growth.

Anjelica Huston

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

Anjelica Huston

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

Going back to Ireland involves at least six to seven emotional breakdowns for me per day.

Anjelica Huston

It's the nature of an actor to have to use sense memory.

Anjelica Huston

I think women like to conquer hearts. Men like to conquer countries.

Anjelica Huston

It's still possible to find pockets of old Dublin - but its becoming more and more rarified.

Anjelica Huston

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

Oh, all kinds of lunacy happens in Ireland, all kinds of lunacy.

Anjelica Huston

I don't see myself ever retiring, unless it's for something that I like better, and so far I like directing a lot but I don't see the necessity to retire from anything unless there's a really great alternative.

Anjelica Huston

I was an avid reader as a child because we didn't have television in Ireland until the mid-'60s.

Anjelica Huston

When you're in your twenties, you're made of expectations, and when they're shattered, you don't know how to behave. The fact is if you react really outraged, you fear that you'll get dropped and feel even more terrible. But there's only a certain amount you can put up with before you become obnoxious in your own eyes, right?

Anjelica Huston

I was very excited to do 'The Witches.' It was with one of my favorite directors, Nick Roeg, and I loved his work from 'Don't Look Now' and 'Eureka.' So I was very excited to work with him. The story was a very subversive fairy tale by Roald Dahl, and a fantastic part.

Anjelica Huston

I think it is easier to hear my voice than see myself onscreen, particularly as the years progress. Watching myself onscreen becomes less and less enthralling.

Anjelica Huston

My father, John Marcellus Huston, was a director renowned for his adventurous style and audacious nature.
