More quotes by Meryl Streep
I have a lot to say about the world, clearly. I can't put together a clear sentence about it all, but through the work I can say what I think.
Meryl Streep
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
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
I can't stand most things that I see.
Meryl Streep
I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.

And she [Margaret Thatcher] also had a sort of a way, like a railroad train, of going, taking a breath and starting quite quietly and making a point in a way that you don't really know that this point is going to be made through several examples, and there will be not be a break in the speaking voice at any point.
Meryl Streep
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
Meryl Streep

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
They filled our lives so much, the films they were in made us laugh, think and cry. Through their work they shared a piece of our soul. We will miss them with the sadness with which we miss an old friend.
Meryl Streep
For me, clothes are kind of a character. They're more interesting in those terms.
Meryl Streep
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
Meryl Streep
So yeah, when I was a kid, when I was 16, 17, I'd come home from high school, and my dad collected all of Barbra Streisand's records. And she was very young then. I think she probably had three records out, and she was 21, and we had them all. And I knew every single song, every breath, every elision, every swell. And I sang along to it.
Meryl Streep
We all make the mistake thinking that how you look makes you more worthy of love.
Meryl Streep
Life is all about making choices and I'm very happy with mine. I have had a wonderful time raising four children and I've also been lucky to have the support of a wonderful husband.
Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
