Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.
Meryl Streep
I once read that in any good marriage, one partner is the gardener and the other is the garden. We take it in turns to be either.
Meryl Streep

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 would never say don't do acting [to my kids], because I think it is a glorious profession and I am so thankful for everything it has let me express.
Meryl Streep
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
