More quotes by Michelle Pfeiffer
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I feel less pressure to dress youthfully. I'm 50 and everyone knows I'm 50 - who are you kidding? Jeans are my uniform. I have about 15 pairs.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
When I first started out, I said to myself, if this doesn't happen there will be something else that I can do. That seemed possible because I knew how to do so many different kinds of jobs.
Michelle Pfeiffer
If I really want to do something, I'll go in and do whatever the director feels that he needs me to do.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I like understanding what's underneath, what's really motivating people. When I was younger, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, so I think it has to do with that.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I am basically very private, and I'm really nervous about doing publicity.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I'm good at disguising my feelings.
Michelle Pfeiffer
You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I'm always amazed at how consistent people find me and my behavior, when in fact I do feel different all the time.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I'm a perfectionist, so I can drive myself mad - and other people, too. At the same time, I think that's one of the reasons I'm successful. Because I really care about what I do.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I even had breasts that had mechanisms that could make them droop. It was a shock in the beginning. Talk about special effects!
Michelle Pfeiffer
I never wanted to have to take a job because I didn't have any money.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
