More quotes by Meryl Streep
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
Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.
Meryl Streep
Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
Meryl Streep
I can't stand most things that I see.
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
Every easy choice will have its consequence tomorrow.
Meryl Streep
People will say to me, ‘You’ve played so many strong women,’ and I’ll say, ‘Have you ever said to a man, “You’ve played so many strong men?”’ No! Because the expectation is [men] are varied. Why can’t we have that expectation about women?
Meryl Streep
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?
Meryl Streep
The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.
Meryl Streep
Instant gratification is not soon enough.
Meryl Streep
Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody.
Meryl Streep
Some men can maintain cragginess and weary masculinity. Women just get old.
