Danny Huston

I resisted the film business as long as I could, because of the big circus act and the amount of money that it costs to make films - I saw my father suffer through that.

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.

I loved painting and drawing for many reasons. One of them was that all it really required was me, a pencil and a pad. It was something I was passionate about, and still am.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
