More quotes by Meryl Streep
The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.
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.
Meryl Streep
Well, I got better after this, and my entire family really did appreciate it. Usually, they're resentful of movies that I go off and make, but this one had a bonus attached. But yeah, she had no breath.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep

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
The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.
Meryl Streep
Acting has to reach everybody on some level - it's a communication of feeling - but as far as judging the work is concerned, it is, I think, something that actors know about.
Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
I have a lot of people to thank and I'm going to be one of those people that tries to mention a lot of names, because I know just two seconds ago my mother and father went completely berserk and I'd like to give some other mothers and fathers that same opportunity.
Meryl Streep
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
Meryl Streep
Guard your good mood.
Meryl Streep
If you have a brain, you are obliged to use it.
