Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
We all make the mistake thinking that how you look makes you more worthy of love.
Meryl Streep
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
Meryl Streep
As there begins to be less time ahead of you, you want to be exactly who you are, without making it easier for everyone else.
Meryl Streep
I can't stand most things that I see.
Meryl Streep
Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.
Meryl Streep
So yeah, when I was a kid, when I was 16, 17, I'd come home from high school, and my dad collected all of Barbra Streisand's records. And she was very young then. I think she probably had three records out, and she was 21, and we had them all. And I knew every single song, every breath, every elision, every swell. And I sang along to it.
Meryl Streep
And she [Margaret Thatcher] also had a sort of a way, like a railroad train, of going, taking a breath and starting quite quietly and making a point in a way that you don't really know that this point is going to be made through several examples, and there will be not be a break in the speaking voice at any point.
Meryl Streep
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
And it interferes with your ability to be a good actress if you're constantly aware of yourself as a person. To me, it isn't valuable to think about how I'm coming off all the time if I'm trying to create a character, because that's a process that I love. It's like falling in love and surrendering to another person or a character.
Meryl Streep
Tonight we light these candles to honor the value and the work of Jyoti Singh's short, promising life, she was India's daughter. Tonight she's our daughter too.
Meryl Streep
Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.
Meryl Streep
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
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
I never look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.
Meryl Streep
I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
Meryl Streep
I have a lot of people to thank and I'm going to be one of those people that tries to mention a lot of names, because I know just two seconds ago my mother and father went completely berserk and I'd like to give some other mothers and fathers that same opportunity.
