More quotes by Meryl Streep
For me, clothes are kind of character I don't follow fashion or understand trends.
Meryl Streep
I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.
Meryl Streep
Some people hold themselves above the fashion business but are still complicit and fall prey to it.
Meryl Streep
I just take every day is a miracle and I'm really glad that I'm still working and that people are not sick of me, even though even I'm sick of me a little bit.
Meryl Streep
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
Meryl Streep
I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.
Meryl Streep
I never give any character I play less respect than I give my own life.
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
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
I can't stand most things that I see.
Meryl Streep
First I'm going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me.
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.
Meryl Streep
The biggest lesson I learned in my career was to ask other people what they make because the men usually make more than you do. And it's good to know. You're not allowed to ask...but it's good to ask.
Meryl Streep
I have a very good life - I'm lucky enough not to be deprived.
Meryl Streep
This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really, there is no normal. There's only change and resistance to it and then more change.
Meryl Streep
Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.
Meryl Streep
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.
Meryl Streep
The first thing [in career and motherhood] is a great husband. That I found many years ago and I am lucky in that way.
Meryl Streep
When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no. Come on... Her, again?' You know. But, whatever.
Meryl Streep
Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.
