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.

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
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.

Meryl Streep
You're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Earl Blackwell finally died, and I was on his blacklist every year for being the worst dressed person.
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
Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.
Meryl Streep
I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
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.
