More quotes by Meryl Streep
I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
And it took to The Devil Wears Prada to play someone tough, who had to make hard decisions, who was running an organization, and sometimes that takes making tough decisions for a certain kind of man to empathize. That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.
Meryl Streep
I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.
Meryl Streep
Without question, of the heterosexual men that I've spoken to over the years, that's usually - they say, you know, my favorite thing you've ever done was Linda or Sophie. And they were a particular kind of very feminine, recessive kind of personality. So they fell in love with her, but they didn't feel the story through her body.
Meryl Streep
We are the choices we have made.
Meryl Streep
I have a lot to say about the world, clearly. I can't put together a clear sentence about it all, but through the work I can say what I think.
Meryl Streep
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.
Meryl Streep
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.
Meryl Streep
Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.
Meryl Streep
It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.
Meryl Streep
All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really,...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with them, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express?
Meryl Streep
My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.
Meryl Streep
I think it is typical for many men to have problems when their wives make more money then they do, or when their wives are higher on the corporate ladder than they find themselves. I think that often is an issue.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
Meryl Streep
Acting has to reach everybody on some level - it's a communication of feeling - but as far as judging the work is concerned, it is, I think, something that actors know about.
Meryl Streep
I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
