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.

More quotes by Meryl Streep
While I am overwhelmingly proud of work that I, believe me, did not do on my own, I can assure you that awards have very little bearing on my own personal happiness, my own sense of well-being and purpose in the world.
Meryl Streep
What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.
Meryl Streep
The biggest lesson I learned in my career was to ask other people what they make because the men usually make more than you do. And it's good to know. You're not allowed to ask...but it's good to ask.
Meryl Streep
The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can.
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
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
Meryl Streep
Anyone who wants to achieve something, needs a lot of work.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous calling myself an artist. I feel I'm more like an interpreter or a violinist, you know.
Meryl Streep
I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.
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
There have been directors that I did not enjoy working with, but for the most part I realize that I have been unbelievably spoiled in my career because I have worked with some of the greatest, greatest directors ever.
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
Everyone is interesting. Everyone has something unexpected to offer and the job of acting is to pull it out of each other.
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
Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.
Meryl Streep
It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.
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
It's harder for men to imagine themselves as the girl in the movies than it is for me to imagine myself as Daniel Craig bringing down the building.
Meryl Streep
When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don't have a cook now, I haven't had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone's homework at the end of the day and make dinner.
