More quotes by Meryl Streep
We all make the mistake thinking that how you look makes you more worthy of love.
Meryl Streep
I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.
Meryl Streep
Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.
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
How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.
Meryl Streep
I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.
Meryl Streep
Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.
Meryl Streep
So yeah, when I was a kid, when I was 16, 17, I'd come home from high school, and my dad collected all of Barbra Streisand's records. And she was very young then. I think she probably had three records out, and she was 21, and we had them all. And I knew every single song, every breath, every elision, every swell. And I sang along to it.
Meryl Streep
Young people who learn the arts do better in every phase of their lives.
Meryl Streep
Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food! Everything else - power, influence, strength - all those things can overpower what's important in life. But as long as you have food and shelter over your head, if the necessities are taken care of, what makes us happy on top of that is very simple.
Meryl Streep
I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.
Meryl Streep
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
Meryl Streep
I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
Meryl Streep
I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.
Meryl Streep
Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.
Meryl Streep
Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.
Meryl Streep
And it interferes with your ability to be a good actress if you're constantly aware of yourself as a person. To me, it isn't valuable to think about how I'm coming off all the time if I'm trying to create a character, because that's a process that I love. It's like falling in love and surrendering to another person or a character.
Meryl Streep
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.
Meryl Streep
I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.
