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.

More quotes by Michelle Pfeiffer
If you think hitting 40 is liberating, wait until you hit 50 and I was surprised at how liberating it was. The anticipation of something is always much worse than the reality.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I still look like a duck.
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.

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.

Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?
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
One thing that's great about having kids, especially given my career, is that it forces you out of your narcissism. I mean, I'm in a career where my product is me. So it was nice to have something, someone, come along and take the focus off me. I really needed to give myself some distractions from myself.
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
Just when you think you've got your kids figured out, they change on you. For somebody who's controlling, you can't control it. Of course, I don't think I'm controlling, but that's what I've been told!
Michelle Pfeiffer
I'm a Taurus. To the bone.
Michelle Pfeiffer
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Men do not take to vanity, because they are taught at an early age that it is wrong to be vain.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
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
And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Acting is kind of brutal.
