Quote

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.

Acting is kind of brutal.

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.

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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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
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.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
I am basically very private, and I'm really nervous about doing publicity.
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.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Image
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

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