More quotes by Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
We need art as much as we need good works. You need it like food. You need it for inspiration to keep going on the days that your low. We need each other in that way.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.

I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.

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
What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.

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

Meryl Streep
You can't get spoiled if you do your own ironing.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
Meryl Streep
If you have been touched by the success fairy, people think you know why. People think success breeds enlightenment and you are duty-bound to spread around like manure. Fertilize those young minds!
Meryl Streep
The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That's how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.
Meryl Streep
The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
I never give any character I play less respect than I give my own life.
