My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.

More quotes by Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
Acting has to reach everybody on some level - it's a communication of feeling - but as far as judging the work is concerned, it is, I think, something that actors know about.
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 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
I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous calling myself an artist. I feel I'm more like an interpreter or a violinist, you know.
Meryl Streep
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.
Meryl Streep
I like who I am now. Other people may not. I'm comfortable. I feel freer now. I don't want growing older to matter to me.
Meryl Streep
My family really does come first. It always did and always will.
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
I just take every day is a miracle and I'm really glad that I'm still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I'm sick of me a little bit.
Meryl Streep
The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That's how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.
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
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
I really worked very hard to bring my voice back because I used to have a good voice, and to try to do my exercises that I remember from Yale and all the things in the olden days, clearing your sinuses and all that.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
Meryl Streep
It is interesting how fashion filters down and we discover in the Devil Wears Prada that we're all prey to trends, even if we think we are not.
Meryl Streep
I'm all over the place.
Meryl Streep
Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.
Meryl Streep
Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
