Michelle Pfeiffer quotes about
Everybody is vulnerable to being in relationships where they get fooled. I'm no different. It's just human nature.
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.
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.
I even had breasts that had mechanisms that could make them droop. It was a shock in the beginning. Talk about special effects!
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.
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.
Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.
When I go to work and when I'm in the public eye, I take much better care of myself. Because when I'm not working, I do indulge more.
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.
I do sometimes feel like the paparazzi are really what ran me out of L.A. They're just giving everyone a bad name.
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.
Most people in the world have seen more of me on-screen than my kids have.
I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
