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.

More quotes by 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 was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.
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
You can have it all, but you can't do it all.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I've never met a person who has more integrity than my husband. I respect that. There's his humor and intelligence, too, and he's really cute, all those things - but if you don't respect your partner, you'll get sick of him.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I still look like a duck.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I still think people will find out that I’m really not very talented. I’m really not very good. It’s all been a big sham.
Michelle Pfeiffer
For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.
Michelle Pfeiffer
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.
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 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'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
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
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 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 like being prepared. When things are going on and I have to learn my lines at the last minute, I'm never quite secure enough to allow it to be spontaneous. So the more prepared I am, the more I'm able to kind of let it go . . .
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
Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
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.
