Where has Michelle Pfeiffer been?
It turns out the answer is pretty simple. “I’ve never lost my love for acting. I feel really at home on the movie set. I’m a more balanced person honestly when I’m working,” says Pfeiffer, who last appeared onscreen in 2013’s The Family (opposite Robert De Niro). “But I was pretty careful about where I shot, how long I was away, whether or not it worked out with the kids’ schedule. And I got so picky that I was unhirable. And then…I don’t know, time just went on.”

“When the student is ready,” she adds, “the teacher appears.”The actress, who has three movies in post-production, marks her return to Hollywood by appearing on the cover of Interview’s April issue. “I’m more open now, my frame of mind, because I really want to work now, because I can,” she tells director Darren Aronfosky. “And these last few years I’ve had some really interesting opportunities. And I have this weird synchronicity with Annette Bening. I was supposed to do Bugsy; I fell out of that. She did it, so she met Warren [Beatty]. That wouldn’t have happened. And then she was supposed to do Batman Returns; She fell out of that. I replaced her. So, we’re always kind of tag-teaming.”
