“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.”

Anjelica Huston (born July 8, 1951)
