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
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Meryl Streep
Most of the great practitioners of the art of acting know exactly what they're doing even in the best, most successful moments, when they let go of the awareness of what they are doing, they still, somewhere deep inside their body, know what they're doing. There is a craft.
Meryl Streep

When my children were very young and I was working I had someone cooking for me. I don't have a cook now, I haven't had one for a number of years and I do it myself. But when they were all little it was hard to pay attention to everyone's homework at the end of the day and make dinner.

Meryl Streep
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
Meryl Streep
I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.
Meryl Streep
You didn't have to work to keep your fear up, your energy up, or your anxiety. It is all kind of built into the process.
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you've lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift.
Meryl Streep
The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.
Meryl Streep
I'm all over the place.
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 look a gift horse in the mouth. And I've been really, really lucky. I'm aware of that. And my career has been given to me by the people I've worked with, no question. The actors, the directors, the cinematographers, the writers, all of whom gave me the opportunity to work in the way that I have and I'm really grateful.
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
It's amazing what you can get if you quietly, clearly and authoritatively demand it.
Meryl Streep
I get nervous the more time I have to think about something so I deliberately don't give myself too much time between jobs. I take a big break and then I start working again usually.
