More quotes by Meryl Streep
Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.
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.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
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.
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 once read that in any good marriage, one partner is the gardener and the other is the garden. We take it in turns to be either.
Meryl Streep
Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous calling myself an artist. I feel I'm more like an interpreter or a violinist, you know.
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
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.
