Where I came from, the idea of going into show business was just ridiculous in fact I didn't tell anybody because I knew people would laugh at me. So I sort of snuck around and got some pictures and got a resume together and, of course, lied and said I did all kinds of things I didn't do.

Actually, I think that turning 29 was more difficult, because once I turned 29, I anticipated 30 for the whole year, so by the time 30 came around it really wasn't that bad.

I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.

Honestly, depending on what stage I'm at in my life, my opinion on plastic surgery changes. I've never been against plastic surgery - I'm against bad plastic surgery. I'm against the overuse of plastic surgery.

Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.

I went to court-reporting school to study stenotyping. After awhile, whenever anybody spoke, in my mind my fingers would be punching it out. Even two years after I quit, my mind still did that.

I've been painting off and on since I was in sixth grade. I don't paint when I'm acting - I'm not really able to split my focus that way. I do it intensely when I'm doing it, but I'm reluctant to take myself too seriously as a painter because that would mean there would be pressure to be better than I am.

I don't believe men want women to have grotesque plastic surgery or be undernourished and bony. All the plastic surgery in the world can't stop you getting older.

If I do a move I don't like, I don't want to get so upset with myself.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.

You can have it all, but you can't do it all.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
When you're young and have a dream, it's pretty simplistic. You don't think about or have any way of knowing everything it can be, and anticipate that.

I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
There have been people in my life who have told me I have to put myself out there more. But it's so hard for me to do that.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
It takes years for me to trust I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

I liked getting up at 4 in the morning, driving on the freeway, and going in and stocking shelves and laughing with the stock clerks.
