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.

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 have days when I just feel I look like a dog.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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.

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.

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.

When I wasn't working I didn't know what to do with myself and sort of didn't exist, in a way, when I wasn't working, so I was like two different people. I am not like that anymore.

If I do a move I don't like, I don't want to get so upset with myself.
Michelle Pfeiffer

Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
I guess I do a really good job at covering.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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
Image
You know, when I am working, I take really, really good care of myself. I eat really well, and I exercise, and again, I have this team of people pulling me together every day.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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!
