I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make.
Michelle Pfeiffer

Women are brought up to think it's acceptable to pay attention to their faces. Men translate their discomfort into their behavior.

Men do not take to vanity, because they are taught at an early age that it is wrong to be vain.

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

If you're working on something that isn't very demanding, isn't very fulfilling, then you have all this energy to burn, and you can go crazy.

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

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.
