| Anjelica Huston
Before I went off to North Carolina, I was reading a lot of directors' books, among them my father's autobiography. Because there's a very good chapter about the technicalities of filmmaking in that book. 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. 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. I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck. 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. I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with. 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. 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'm not sad that I haven't had any children, because there are a lot in my family. My brother's children in their early twenties are great. 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. Of course drugs were fun.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. When my mother died, I was 17 years old, and I literally got on a plane and flew to America, and didn't really come back. I have been back to Ireland in short spurts, just skimming the surface of my formative years. |
