War & Peace Quote by Anjelica Huston

A throwaway line with a razor tucked inside it: Huston frames romantic rivalry as a guilty pleasure, then quietly indicts the industry for rationing it. "I'm very fond" sounds breezy, even vain, but the punch is in the second sentence - "I don't get to do enough" - which turns desire into scarcity. She isn't just confessing a taste for cinematic attention; she's naming a system that withholds that kind of narrative centrality from women like her, especially as they age out of the narrow window Hollywood treats as "fight-worthy."

The joke lands because it toggles between fantasy and grievance. On one level, it's pure star text: the glamorous premise that men scramble, a classic studio-era setup she would have watched, absorbed, and inherited. On another, it's a professional complaint disguised as flirtation. Huston, long cast as the sharp-edged, the aristocratic, the dangerous, knows how often "powerful woman" roles come with a penalty: you get to be formidable, but not necessarily desired. The line winks at that trade-off.

There's also a sly reclamation in the phrasing. She doesn't apologize for wanting the camera to treat her as an object of competition; she treats it as craft - a kind of delicious, high-stakes dramaturgy that gives an actress leverage. Men fighting over her isn't about validation. It's about plot gravity. It's about getting to be the axis the story turns on, instead of the accessory that makes someone else's arc feel human.
