More quotes by Meryl Streep
Everyone is interesting. Everyone has something unexpected to offer and the job of acting is to pull it out of each other.
Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.
Meryl Streep
I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.
Meryl Streep

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.
Meryl Streep
The biggest lesson I learned in my career was to ask other people what they make because the men usually make more than you do. And it's good to know. You're not allowed to ask...but it's good to ask.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
Empathy is at the heart of the actor's art.
Meryl Streep
I would like Martin Scorsese to be interested in a female character once in a while, but I don’t know if I’ll live that long.
Meryl Streep
Every easy choice will have its consequence tomorrow.
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
You can't sing when you're upset. You can't sing when you're crying. You get all congested and disgusting.
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
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.
Meryl Streep
The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.
Meryl Streep
Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.
Meryl Streep
It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.
Meryl Streep
