Meryl Streep
Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think.

And it's where you learn everything.

Meryl Streep
Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
Meryl Streep
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
Meryl Streep
And it took to The Devil Wears Prada to play someone tough, who had to make hard decisions, who was running an organization, and sometimes that takes making tough decisions for a certain kind of man to empathize. That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
You can be afraid in a press conference, nervous, sweaty, but you can't be afraid when you do your work because it doesn't work that way.
Meryl Streep
I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.
Meryl Streep
