More quotes by Meryl Streep
One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.
Meryl Streep
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
Meryl Streep
You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.

The movie that makes me cry is Anchorman. I have the biggest crush on Will Ferrel I love him in every film he does. I mean, Ryan Gosling could be my child. I'm not going to have a crush on a child. Will Ferrell is a man.

Without question, of the heterosexual men that I've spoken to over the years, that's usually - they say, you know, my favorite thing you've ever done was Linda or Sophie. And they were a particular kind of very feminine, recessive kind of personality. So they fell in love with her, but they didn't feel the story through her body.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
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
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
Meryl Streep
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.

Chris Cooper is one of my favorite actors in the world. I've seen him in most everything he's done.
Meryl Streep
When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don't have a cook now, I haven't had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone's homework at the end of the day and make dinner.
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.
Meryl Streep
I have a lot to say about the world, clearly. I can't put together a clear sentence about it all, but through the work I can say what I think.
Meryl Streep
I didn't go to Catholic school but I had a tough teacher, a tough math teacher.I remember everything that guy taught me. I really do.
