More quotes by 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 didn't go to Catholic school but I had a tough teacher, a tough math teacher.I remember everything that guy taught me. I really do.
Meryl Streep
My family really does come first. It always did and always will.
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.
Meryl Streep
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
Meryl Streep
They filled our lives so much, the films they were in made us laugh, think and cry. Through their work they shared a piece of our soul. We will miss them with the sadness with which we miss an old friend.
Meryl Streep
The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.
Meryl Streep
All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really,...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with them, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express?
Meryl Streep
I think we all think we sound really good in the shower, where there's that nice reverb.
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
Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you've lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift.
Meryl Streep
The work will stand, no matter what.
Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
Without question, of the heterosexual men that I've spoken to over the years, that's usually - they say, you know, my favorite thing you've ever done was Linda or Sophie. And they were a particular kind of very feminine, recessive kind of personality. So they fell in love with her, but they didn't feel the story through her body.
Meryl Streep
Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up.
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
My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.
Meryl Streep
I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
Meryl Streep
Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.
