Instant gratification is not soon enough.
Meryl Streep
And it took to The Devil Wears Prada to play someone tough, who had to make hard decisions, who was running an organization, and sometimes that takes making tough decisions for a certain kind of man to empathize. That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.
Meryl Streep
Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.
Meryl Streep
What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.
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
First I'm going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me.
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.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.
Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
There have been directors that I did not enjoy working with, but for the most part I realize that I have been unbelievably spoiled in my career because I have worked with some of the greatest, greatest directors ever.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
I've grown up well, partly because there weren't great girls' literature - Nancy Drew, maybe - but there weren't things. So there was Huck Finn and Spin And Marty. The boys characters were interesting and you lived through them when you're watching it.
Meryl Streep
For me, clothes are kind of a character. They're more interesting in those terms.
Meryl Streep
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
Meryl Streep
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
Meryl Streep
Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.
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
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
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.
