The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.
Meryl Streep
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. But as long as you have food and shelter over your head, if the necessities are taken care of, what makes us happy on top of that is very simple.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
Meryl Streep
For me, clothes are kind of a character. They're more interesting in those terms.
