Personal quotes from Michelle Pfeiffer
"I still think people will find out that I'm really not very talented. I'm really not very good. It's all just been a big sham."
(On playing her part of Claire Spencer in What Lies Beneath)" I thought about Drew Barrymore in the first Scream - I mean, ultimately that movie was more funny than scary, but the opening sequence was quite terrifying, and she protrayed terror in a way I'd never seen an actress do."
[On wearing the Catwoman costume for the first time]: "I thought to myself 'I can't move, I can't breathe, I can't think. I'm unhappy. I can't act'."
