Meryl Streep
The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can.
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.

All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.
