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.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
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.

I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.
Meryl Streep
Image
I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.

Image
Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.

The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.

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.

Image
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

Image
It is interesting how fashion filters down and we discover in the Devil Wears Prada that we're all prey to trends, even if we think we are not.

Image
I guess a normal woman would find it extremely enjoyable to wear fancy clothes. For me, I didn't enjoy it. It felt like a straight jacket.

No one has ever asked an actor, 'You're playing a strong-minded man.' We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions. But a strong-minded woman is a different animal.

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.
