Danny Huston Quotations

You know, the great thing about acting or, indeed, filmmaking in general, is that we're all given a reason to do research. You kind of have to, really, if you want to know what you're doing, but it opens up this whole new understanding.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time on film sets all over the world.

I had no ambition to become an actor at all.

I love playing bad. But my whole thing is usually villains that don't know that they're evil.

I started as a director and just fell upon acting.

The whole thing of doing a TV series, I find it very daunting not knowing where the story's going.

There's a point where art is not subjective, and my example for that is Picasso. If you don't like Picasso, that's your problem.

At times, there are misunderstandings [during shooting]. Especially with green screen and not really knowing what it is that you're looking at, you really depend on the director to create that world for you.

When I was really young, I shot a lot with my Super 8.

Also, in my acting, I feel very much like a storyteller, exploring the flaws of the characters that I interpret. I look for the imperfections, and I love a character that is just so flawed.
