Michelle Pfeiffer quotes about
People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.
You have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but it is still a choice.
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.
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.
Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.
The value of a good education has never left me.
I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.
I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.
It's harder to live the way I live. There are certain places I like to shop and eat where I simply don't go. The paparazzi follow you.
I'm good at disguising my feelings.
I'm a Taurus. To the bone.
There's always an imbalance with actors and actresses in the industry. And I think because there are just fewer movies overall being made, it's that trickle down effect.
You can have it all, but you can't do it all.
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.
