One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives.

All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
People will say to me, ‘You’ve played so many strong women,’ and I’ll say, ‘Have you ever said to a man, “You’ve played so many strong men?”’ No! Because the expectation is [men] are varied. Why can’t we have that expectation about women?
Meryl Streep
I would like Martin Scorsese to be interested in a female character once in a while, but I don’t know if I’ll live that long.
Meryl Streep
I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.

It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.
Meryl Streep
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.
