„Amo tutti i miei vestiti della linea Armani, ma in casa mi piace la roba comoda. Come un paio di jeans e una maglietta sudata.“

„Hollywood dovrebbe essere più moderata in quello che presenta al pubblico, e i genitori non dovrebbero permettere ai bambini di vedere film con rating non adatti alla loro età“

„Io recito gratis, i soldi me li faccio dare per l'inconveniente di essere una star.“

„Il mio istinto nel scegliere i film non è mai stato buono. Reagisco emozionalmente (alla lettura dei copioni), e fino a quando non vi sono impegnata, non vedo crepe o difetti nella storia. Non sono brava a capire ciò che il pubblico vuole vedere.“

„Vengo da una famiglia senza il talento del canto, ma in qualche modo ho ereditato qualcosa, e in realtà non sono così male.“

„Nelle nostre vite complicate non siamo attrezzati a trovare la gioia, non perché ce ne sia poca nel mondo, ma perché non sappiamo riconoscerla. Capire se stessi, i propri desideri più profondi spesso ci dice che inseguiamo falsi miti. Perciò continuamo a fare gli stessi errori.“

„I used to stay up very late at night, much later than I probably should have for such a youngster, and I used to watch very old black-and-white movies with, you know, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, but I remember watching them thinking 'I could do that'… Even though I wasn't inclined at all to actually become an actress. I mean, that wasn't something that was… in the stars for me, no pun intended.“
Interview on Inside the Actors Studio (2007) http://uk.youtube.com/user/pfeifferpfan2
„I consider myself an attractive woman, and I can be not-so-great-looking if I don't put effort into how I look.“
In response to criticism that she was too beautiful to play a lonely waitress in Frankie and Johnny, quoted in Pfeiffer: Beyond the Age of Innocence by Thompson, p. 223
Contesto: The description of the character is that Frankie is an attractive woman if she'd just put a little effort into how she looks. So that's basically the way I played her. I consider myself an attractive woman, and I can be not-so-great-looking if I don't put effort into how I look. But more importantly, the core of the character was someone who had given up on love, and that could be any age, any size, any form of beauty. That could be anybody.
„I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality.“
Esquire (1990) http://www.pfeiffertheface.com/Mich_Quo1.htm
Contesto: 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.
„I don't like improvisation. I really don't.“
Inside the Actors Studio (2007) http://uk.youtube.com/user/pfeifferpfan2
Contesto: I don't like improvisation. I really don't. I'm the only one that will admit it. Because I think people think you're not a real actor if you don't like to improv. I don't like it.
„That would have to be the F-word.“
In response to the question, "What is your favourite curse word?" from Inside the Actors Studio (2007) http://uk.youtube.com/user/pfeifferpfan2
Contesto: That would have to be the F-word. Do you want me to say it? It's so descriptive, it can be used in so many ways — it can be used lovingly, it can be used in the most hateful — it's just very versatile... and you know, it's just, sometimes no other word will do.
„There's always some sort of parallel that's going on in my own life, and so you can use it to, you know, bring closure, perhaps, to certain things that you haven't. A healing, a reconnection. And I believe in that. I believe in that.“
In response to the question, "How do you approach your roles?" from Inside the Actors Studio (2007) http://uk.youtube.com/user/pfeifferpfan2
Contesto: I always look at it as — it's like a treasure map, and each little detail in it, you sort of look at it for information and it points you in the right direction, to tell you where you need to go. You start out with a few choices, obviously — I need to learn the clarinet or I need to learn the cello, or I need to learn how to stay underwater without panicking — but it is like painting in a way, that at a certain point, the painting begins to tell you what to do. And with acting, it's the same — with acting in film, anyway — at a certain point then, what you've already put on screen begins to dictate to you where you need to go, and then it just starts to create itself in a way. And what I try to do is find a strand of myself, as different as I might feel the character is from me, and as removed as it is, I always try to find that one part of me. And then you kind of build on to that, because it's a way to keep you connected. And you never want to lose that connection. There's always some sort of parallel that's going on in my own life, and so you can use it to, you know, bring closure, perhaps, to certain things that you haven't. A healing, a reconnection. And I believe in that. I believe in that.
„You know, I look like a duck. I just do. And I'm not the only person who thinks that.“
People magazine (1990) http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20128142,00.html
Contesto: You know, I look like a duck. I just do. And I'm not the only person who thinks that. It's the way my mouth sort of curls up or my nose tilts up. I should have played Howard the Duck.
„I don't like talking about the characters I do in film, ever.“
Vogue (1991) http://www.pfeiffertheface.com/Mag_1991-10_Vogue.htm
Contesto: I don't like talking about the characters I do in film, ever. There's no deep, dark meaning. It's just an idea. It's just an idea.

„It's so descriptive, it can be used in so many ways — it can be used lovingly, it can be used in the most hateful — it's just very versatile… and you know, it's just, sometimes no other word will do.“

„I was very strong-willed, very stubborn, and fairly dramatic, I guess.“
Vanity Fair (1993) http://www.pfeiffertheface.com/Mag_1993-09_VanityFair.htm
Contesto: I had a big mouth, and I used to mouth off to my mother all the time. But I'd make sure my father wasn't in earshot, because he'd let me have it. I was very strong-willed, very stubborn, and fairly dramatic, I guess. I remember my mother calling me a drama queen when I would be carrying on: 'Here's my little actress.' And I was a real tomboy. I wasn't a terribly feminine little girl. I never thought I was attractive to boys; I remember when the first boy liked me, I couldn't believe it. All the little girls with ringlets and crinoline dresses were the ones the boys liked. I was always beating them up — why should they like me? I was always the biggest girl in the class, and if somebody wanted someone beaten up, they'd come and get me. I was the school bully. No wonder I played Catwoman. It all comes full circle.
„It's usually just awkward. It's not terribly romantic or steamy.“
On love scenes with male co-stars, from Inside the Actors Studio (2007) http://uk.youtube.com/user/pfeifferpfan2
Contesto: It's usually just awkward. It's not terribly romantic or steamy. Sometimes people's wives show up — "Hey, how you doing?"… I had a wedding scene with someone once, and the girlfriend showed up in a white dress...
„Even from the beginning, when I was doing junk television, I still had this focus. I knew I wasn't going to be doing that forever, that I wasn't going to be like that…“
Vanity Fair (1989) http://www.pfeiffertheface.com/Mag_1989-02_Vanity.htm
„So I do the test, and we do this scene, and it's the scene at the end where I throw dishes, and so I threw some dishes… and 'Cut!'… And I look around, and there's blood everywhere, because I broke a plate or something, and they're all checking me — 'Oh my God, she cut herself' — and couldn't find any cut, and then I look, and I realise. I see Al's hand is bleeding. And I cut Al Pacino, in my screen test. I think then he liked me. I think that was actually the turning point.“
