Whenever something is conveni...

Whenever something is convenient or was modified after 1970, you probably shouldn't use it as root.

John Huston 35 quotes

I would spend more time with ...

I would spend more time with my children. I would make my money before spending it. I would learn the joys of wine instead of hard liquor. I would not smoke cigarettes when I had pneumonia. I would not marry a fifth time.

John Huston 35 quotes

A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on. And one day you die. That is all there is to it.

John Huston 35 quotes

Most people never have to face the fact that at the right time and the right place they're capable of anything.

Hollywood has always been a cage...a cage to catch our dreams

I relieve myself from the rigours of directing by casting the movie correctly.

John Huston 35 quotes

Talk to them about things the...

Talk to them about things they don't know. Try to give them an inferiority complex. If the actress is beautiful, screw her. If she isn't, present her with a valuable painting she will not understand. If they insist on being boring, kick their asses or twist their noses. And that's about all there is to it.

John Huston 35 quotes

When you make motion pictures...

When you make motion pictures, each picture is a life unto itself. When you finish and the picture is over, there's an understanding, a realization that we'll never be assembled this way again. That these relationships are severed forever and ever. And each of these films is a little life.

John Huston 35 quotes

The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world.

John Huston 35 quotes

Even Michelangelo on his deat...

Even Michelangelo on his deathbed thought he'd done nothing to ennoble art. He wanted to destroy his work-the Pieta! And this from the greatest artist who ever lived. Of course I am not comparing my work to Michelangelo's. But this eternal dissatisfaction of the artist is what I was talking about.

John Huston 35 quotes

Once you have found the right...

Once you have found the right shot to introduce the scene-written your first declarative sentence-then the rest flows. You've found the key to the whole scene.

John Huston 35 quotes

What you try to become is a b...

What you try to become is a bringer of magic, for magic and the truth are closely allied and movies are sheer magic ... when they work, it's, well, it's glorious.

John Huston 35 quotes

Each picture with its particu...

Each picture with its particular environment and unique personal relationships is a world unto itself - separate and distinct. Picture makers lead dozens of lives - a life for each picture. And, by the same token, they perish a little when each picture is finished and that world comes to an end. In this respect it is a melancholy occupation.

John Huston 35 quotes

Critics have never been able ...

Critics have never been able to discover a unifying theme in my films. For thatmatter, neither have I.

John Huston 35 quotes

There is a wilful lemming-lik...

There is a wilful lemming-like persistance in remaking past successes time after time. They can't make them as good as they are in our memories, but they go on doing them and each time it's a disaster. Why don't we remake some of our bad pictures - I'd love another shot at 'Roots of Heaven' - and make them good?

John Huston 35 quotes

Marilyn was one step from oblivion when I directed her in The Asphalt Jungle. I remember she impressed me more off the screen than on…there was something touching and appealing about her.

John Huston 35 quotes

What to do when inspiration d...

What to do when inspiration doesn't come; be careful not to spook, get the wind up, force things into position. You must wait around until the idea comes.

Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.

John Huston 35 quotes

You walk through a series of arches, so to speak, and then, presently, at the end of a corridor, a door opens and you see backward through time, and you feel the flow of time, and realize you are only part of a great nameless procession.

The directing of a picture involves coming out of your individual loneliness and taking a controlling part in putting together a small world. A picture is made. You put a frame around it and move on. And one day you die. That is all there is to it.
