Michelle Pfeiffer Kids Quotations

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.

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.

Having a full-blown company is just something that I don't have the time for now, ... I was just starting to feel really depleted, and the kids are getting older and the demands are different now.

Most people in the world have seen more of me on-screen than my kids have.

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.

Just when you think you've got your kids figured out, they change on you. For somebody who's controlling, you can't control it. Of course, I don't think I'm controlling, but that's what I've been told!

I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.

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.

My kids would probably say that I'm too strict. They probably would say that, and I try not to be, but I'm probably more on the conservative end of that. At the same time, I know full well that ultimately I don't really have control over them.
