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.

True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
Image
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
Image
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
Meryl Streep
Image
For me, clothes are kind of a character. They're more interesting in those terms.

Being an actor lets me be a million different things.
Meryl Streep

As there begins to be less time ahead of you, you want to be exactly who you are, without making it easier for everyone else.
Meryl Streep
Image
All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really,...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with them, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express?
