I used to do drugs in high school. I've been living in L.A. for almost 10 years, and shortly after I arrived I cleaned up pretty much. Stuff goes on on the set, stuff goes on at parties.

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.

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.

Acting's an odd profession for a young person it's so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there's nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you're not actually producing anything. For a young person, that's really challenging.

What's interesting is, there's always a lot of talk to young people about finding their passion, following their passion. But I remember reading somewhere that a lot of people don't have a passion. And there's this pressure to have one. It's perfectly fine not to have one.

I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.

I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
I've always had a very extreme personality, which gets me into major trouble, I'm always all or nothing, and I don't know the world balance. I'm desperately trying to learn it because I think as you get older it becomes very important.

If I really want to do something, I'll go in and do whatever the director feels that he needs me to 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 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.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.

I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school.

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.

I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know.

It's harder to live the way I live. There are certain places I like to shop and eat where I simply don't go. The paparazzi follow you.
