More quotes by Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
I've grown up well, partly because there weren't great girls' literature - Nancy Drew, maybe - but there weren't things. So there was Huck Finn and Spin And Marty. The boys characters were interesting and you lived through them when you're watching it.
Meryl Streep
No one has ever asked an actor, 'You're playing a strong-minded man.' We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions. But a strong-minded woman is a different animal.
Meryl Streep
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Meryl Streep
I feel like I run a business although I haven't one. It's planning, planning, and planning.
Meryl Streep
Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.
Meryl Streep
You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.
Meryl Streep
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.
Meryl Streep
I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.
Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
Being an actor lets me be a million different things.
Meryl Streep
Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
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
My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.
Meryl Streep
Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.
Meryl Streep
It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.
Meryl Streep
The best thing about acting is when you're playing a scene and you actually become your character and lose yourself in that moment. That's when you know you've been succeeded at what you've worked very hard to accomplish in your profession. Those are the truly thrilling moments.
Meryl Streep
Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.
Meryl Streep
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
