Happy Birthday Michelle Pfeiffer!

Everybody is vulnerable to being in relationships where they get fooled. I'm no different. It's just human nature.

Ich war vor allem eine abwesende Schülerin! Ich war mehr daran interessiert, mit den Surfern am Strand herumzuhängen und Zigaretten zu rauchen. Ich konnte gar nicht erwarten, daß die Schulzeit vorbei ist. Ich hatte nie einen Lehrer, der kapiert, daß der Trick darin besteht, die Kids dazu zu bringen, daß sie lernen wollen, bevor man versucht, ihnen irgendetwas beizubringen.

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.

Männer sind wie Luft, zwar verdorben, aber unentbehrlich.

Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?

Manchmal bringt es einen weiter, seine Gefühle zu verbergen. 

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.

Logik sticht Träumerei.

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.

Mut ist, sich selbst gegenüber rückhaltlos ehrlich zu sein.

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.

Frauen werden in einer Gesellschaft so lange benachteiligt sein, 
bis mindestens die Hälfte der Regierungsmitglieder weiblich ist. 

You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.

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.

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.

I don't know if it's naivete or just narcissism, but I start out with this notion that I can do anything. It's not until I get into it that I realize what I've thrown myself into, and then I will do anything not to humiliate myself. And that, I think, is the secret to my success.

The whole celebrity thing never is normal and I think the fuller your life is, the more you are able to just kind of call a truce with it on a good day.

First of all, plain and simple, you have no real idea of what it means to be famous until you become famous. It's a double-edged sword. Obviously there are a lot of amazing things about fame, but there are also a lot of challenging things about it.

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.

I like understanding what's underneath, what's really motivating people. When I was younger, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, so I think it has to do with that.

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

Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense; I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.

Even though I don't feel I need approval, it's still important to me to give a good performance. I'm hard on myself.

I guess I sort of just feel like I am lucky.

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.

The value of a good education has never left me.

Just standing around looking beautiful is so boring.

When I was very young I never thought I was attractive, because I was a tomboy and I was always the biggest girl in the class.

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.

I have days when I just feel I look like a dog.
