The movie that makes me cry is Anchorman. I have the biggest crush on Will Ferrel I love him in every film he does. I mean, Ryan Gosling could be my child. I'm not going to have a crush on a child. Will Ferrell is a man.

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.

All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.

On every film, the clothes are half the battle in creating the character. I have a great deal of opinion about how my people are presented. We show a great deal by what we put on our bodies.
Meryl Streep
I would say, don't smoke. I'm kidding, but yeah, I did smoke in college and as a young actor and it's stupid.
Meryl Streep
And it took to The Devil Wears Prada to play someone tough, who had to make hard decisions, who was running an organization, and sometimes that takes making tough decisions for a certain kind of man to empathize. That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.
Meryl Streep
Sometimes it's easier for people who are in authority to be authoritarian, because people know where you stand.

Meryl Streep
If you have been touched by the success fairy, people think you know why. People think success breeds enlightenment and you are duty-bound to spread around like manure. Fertilize those young minds!
Meryl Streep
And it interferes with your ability to be a good actress if you're constantly aware of yourself as a person. To me, it isn't valuable to think about how I'm coming off all the time if I'm trying to create a character, because that's a process that I love. It's like falling in love and surrendering to another person or a character.
