More quotes by Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Meryl Streep
You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.
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
Life is all about making choices and I'm very happy with mine. I have had a wonderful time raising four children and I've also been lucky to have the support of a wonderful husband.

Instant gratification is not soon enough.
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
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
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 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
Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.
Meryl Streep
Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
Most of the great practitioners of the art of acting know exactly what they're doing even in the best, most successful moments, when they let go of the awareness of what they are doing, they still, somewhere deep inside their body, know what they're doing. There is a craft.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
I love food and I love sex.
Meryl Streep
Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.
Meryl Streep
When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no. Come on... Her, again?' You know. But, whatever.
Meryl Streep
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
