Michelle Pfeiffer

Like all parents, my husband and I just do the best we can, hold our breath and hope we've set aside enough money for our kid's therapy.

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

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.
