Because Dad was famous, I was so used to being identified as 'John Huston's daughter' that I couldn't think of myself as anyone else.

From Allegra Huston

Don't waste time on what's not important. Don't get sucked into the drama. Get on with it: don't dwell on the past. Be a big person; be generous of spirit; be the person you'd admire.

From Allegra Huston

I was a supporting character in other people's lives, which seemed right and familiar to me. I was also an outsider: English in the U.S., American in England, dogged yet comforted by that familiar feeling of alien-ness, which occupied that space where my sense of self should have been.

From Allegra Huston

I look at 'Love Child' and it's as if it was written by someone else - someone who knew what they were doing.

From Allegra Huston

I, personally, have had to rise above my feelings of inferiority to my sister Anjelica, not to mention feeling sorry for myself because I lost my mother so young.

From Allegra Huston

I see myself as part English and part American, with a dash of Irish thrown in, and a pinch of Italian from my mother's ancestry.

From Allegra Huston

When I was 12 and met my real father for the first time, I was terrified I would lose the one I already had.

From Allegra Huston

If you have security, you can rebel; if you don't, you hold on to any scraps of it that you have.

From Allegra Huston

What I am most grateful for is that neither of my fathers pushed the relationship; they just let things develop and didn't impose anything on me. They were both just there, emanating stability in a very unstable situation.

From Allegra Huston

With my stepson, it is very important to me that there is no drama around the fact that he has two families.
