More quotes by Meryl Streep
The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That's how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.

We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.
Meryl Streep
The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.
Meryl Streep
I like who I am now. Other people may not. I'm comfortable. I feel freer now. I don't want growing older to matter to me.
Meryl Streep
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older.
Meryl Streep
I don't really talk about my process very much, because I feel like if I give something away, it might not come back.
Meryl Streep
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
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
It's very humbling to imagine somebody else's really life and their pain ... It's my drug.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.
