John Huston: Self

Quotes 

  • John Huston : [referring to "Gunga Din"]  It was all the things that Kipling stands for. It catered to the adolescent in all of us. Yeah. Wonderful.

  • John Huston : [on the D-Day Invasion]  A great occasion, all together, those days - when hopes ran higher for the world than I've ever known them to - before or since. And I know that George had that high sense of the fate of the world when he thought, with the rest of us, that everything was going to be all right forever afterwards.

  • John Huston : With George, in all the things he did, there was an immediacy. I mean, I lived the material. I didn't comment on it as I went along. I just lived it - as the picture went along. He had me there - within the scene. I became a part of it.

  • John Huston : [referring to the Blacklist era]  George brought all the influence to bear that he possibly could to direct these assaults away from these people and, in fact, defend the Constitution of the United States. He was - a very true - patriotic American, in the best sense.
