Crime is a left- handed form of human endeavor.

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

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

John Huston 35 quotes

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

John Huston 35 quotes

Each picture with its particul...

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

Talk to them about things they...

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

What you try to become is a br...

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.

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

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.

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

I Don't Try to Guess What a Million People Will Like. It's Hard Enough to Know What I Like.

John Huston 35 quotes

I prefer to think that God is not dead, just drunk.

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

I don't approve of censorship....

I don't approve of censorship. I like the French theatre idea. Put on the play, and if the audience doesn't care for it, or feels offended by it, they rip up the seats.

John Huston 35 quotes

What to do when inspiration do...

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.

John Huston 35 quotes

There is a wilful lemming-like...

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

Most people never have to face...

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

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

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

She went right down into her o...

She went right down into her own personal experience for everything, reached down and pulled something out of herself that was unique and extraordinary. She had no techniques. It was all the truth, it was only Marilyn. But it was Marilyn, plus. She found things, found things about womankind in herself.
