More quotes by 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
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
We are the choices we have made.
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 have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.

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.
Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep
Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.
Meryl Streep
It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.
Meryl Streep
Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
Meryl Streep
Young people who learn the arts do better in every phase of their lives.
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
Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
Meryl Streep
You can be afraid in a press conference, nervous, sweaty, but you can't be afraid when you do your work because it doesn't work that way.
Meryl Streep
You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent... Or that you're boring and they're going to find out that you don't know what you're doing.
Meryl Streep
I couldn't care less about fashion. If I had taken any clothes home, they would have remained in my closet for the rest of their existence.
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.
