Dedee Pfeiffer

Dedee Pfeiffer: I quit acting pretty much every six months, I quit. I would do it for 16 years. And I want to quit often. And that was one of the times where I thought, "okay, I'm out of here. I'm going back to school. I'm gonna get, like, a real job, something that's important." And, you know, I was gonna work for "National Geographic" or something if they would have me and take pictures of animals. So I thought, well, they wanted me to read for Cybill Shepherd's older daughter, and I went, "oh, like I could play that. But I'll try." So I went in, and I read, and I got it. So I was like, "okay, well, I guess I won't quit."

Dedee Pfeiffer: I've always auditioned for everything I've gotten. Nothing's been handed to me really. And I think that--that builds character. You know, not that if someone wanted to hand me something, that wouldn't be lovely, too.

Dedee Pfeiffer: On my butt I have a tattoo of two cherubs hugging each other. They are symbolic of the angels that protect me, and they epitomize the innocence of love. I also have one of two doves. One represents the memory of my father and the other is in memory of my best friend. They symbolise how I feel about people I've loved and lost.

Dedee Pfeiffer: I'm the wild Pfeiffer. Michelle is smart, cautious and shy, whereas I'm wild and outrageous and talk before I think. I'm always flashing people at bars - not my breasts, but my tattoos. My family and friends know I'm a freak and I'll try almost anything once.
