More quotes by Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
She [Barbra Streisand] was just - we can't know what we mean to each other. You know, artists, you can't know - you can't know that, but she was really important.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can.
Meryl Streep
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
Meryl Streep
Women are better at acting then men. Why? Because we have to be. If successfully convincing someone bigger than you are of something he doesn't want to know is a survival skill, this is how women have survived through the millennia.
Meryl Streep
You can be afraid in a press conference, nervous, sweaty, but you can't be afraid when you do your work because it doesn't work that way.
Meryl Streep
This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.
Meryl Streep
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
Meryl Streep
It's hard to negotiate the present landscape with a brain and a female body.
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.
Meryl Streep
I would say, don't smoke. I'm kidding, but yeah, I did smoke in college and as a young actor and it's stupid.
Meryl Streep
In my own life, I have noticed when I have been meeting directors, that the same sentence with the same inflection can be said by a man, like: Get me this. But if the same thing is said by a woman, it's seen as harsh and unacceptable. That always fascinates me.
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you've lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
They filled our lives so much, the films they were in made us laugh, think and cry. Through their work they shared a piece of our soul. We will miss them with the sadness with which we miss an old friend.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
Meryl Streep
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
Meryl Streep
Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art.
Meryl Streep
Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.
