Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
Meryl Streep
I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.
Meryl Streep
When criticism comes your way as an actor they are not criticizing your writing or your painting or your piece, they are criticizing you! It is hard to put that away in a place where you are not hurt.
Meryl Streep
Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.
Meryl Streep
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
