Michelle Pfeiffer Quotes

Acting is kind of brutal Picture Quote #1

I would speak up if I see someone being rude to someone Picture Quote #1

I guess I do a really good job at covering Picture Quote #1

Acting’s an odd profession for a young person; it’s so extreme. You work, and the conditions are tough and the process is so immersive, and then it stops, and then there’s nothing. So you have to find ways of making you feel productive when you’re not actually producing anything. For a young person, that’s really challenging Picture Quote #1

You’ve got each other’s back. I think if everyone shows up with that attitude, then everybody has a great time, and I think the work is better as well Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think all actors have a sadomasochistic streak, because acting is kind of brutal, you know Picture Quote #1

My favorite food in the world is Mexican food. I’m not a dessert person. I’m more of a crunchy, salty girl. I could live on chips and salsa. I would take a Mexican meal over some fancy French cuisine anytime Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I worked so hard for so long - I did a lot of movies. I also worked a lot when my kids were smaller, before they were in school Picture Quote #1

My grandmother raised five children during the Depression by herself. At 50, she threw her sewing machine into the back of a pickup truck and drove from North Dakota to California. She was a real survivor, so that’s my stock. That’s how I want my kids to be too Picture Quote #1

I’m a perfectionist, so I can drive myself mad - and other people, too. At the same time, I think that’s one of the reasons I’m successful. Because I really care about what I do Picture Quote #1

I look like a duck. It’s the way my mouth curls up, or my nose tilts up. I should have played Howard the Duck Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Actually, I think that turning 29 was more difficult, because once I turned 29, I anticipated 30 for the whole year, so by the time 30 came around it really wasn’t that bad Picture Quote #1

I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I’m learning to put those compulsions into healthy things Picture Quote #1
