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.

I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
Well, I got better after this, and my entire family really did appreciate it. Usually, they're resentful of movies that I go off and make, but this one had a bonus attached. But yeah, she had no breath.
Meryl Streep
I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.
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
I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.
Meryl Streep
Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.
Meryl Streep
The first thing [in career and motherhood] is a great husband. That I found many years ago and I am lucky in that way.
Meryl Streep
I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.
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
The work will stand, no matter what.
Meryl Streep
One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.
Meryl Streep
You can't sing when you're upset. You can't sing when you're crying. You get all congested and disgusting.
Meryl Streep
Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.
Meryl Streep
Young people who learn the arts do better in every phase of their lives.
Meryl Streep
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
In my own life, I have noticed when I have been meeting directors, that the same sentence with the same inflection can be said by a man, like: Get me this. But if the same thing is said by a woman, it's seen as harsh and unacceptable. That always fascinates me.
Meryl Streep
Most of the great practitioners of the art of acting know exactly what they're doing even in the best, most successful moments, when they let go of the awareness of what they are doing, they still, somewhere deep inside their body, know what they're doing. There is a craft.
