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

I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
Meryl Streep
While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.
Meryl Streep
