Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

You know, when I am working, I take really, really good care of myself. I eat really well, and I exercise, and again, I have this team of people pulling me together every day.
Michelle Pfeiffer

When I wasn't working I didn't know what to do with myself and sort of didn't exist, in a way, when I wasn't working, so I was like two different people. I am not like that anymore.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

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.

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.

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.

Men do not take to vanity, because they are taught at an early age that it is wrong to be vain.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
When I go to work and when I'm in the public eye, I take much better care of myself. Because when I'm not working, I do indulge more.

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 have days when I just feel I look like a dog.

Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.

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 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.
