There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
Michelle Pfeiffer

I'd been taking singing lessons and I had taken dance, because I loved to dance, but I had never considered myself a professional at all.
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.
