I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.
Meryl Streep
Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.
Meryl Streep
You can't sing when you're upset. You can't sing when you're crying. You get all congested and disgusting.
Meryl Streep
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
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
I think it is typical for many men to have problems when their wives make more money then they do, or when their wives are higher on the corporate ladder than they find themselves. I think that often is an issue.
Meryl Streep
America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.
Meryl Streep
If you have been touched by the success fairy, people think you know why. People think success breeds enlightenment and you are duty-bound to spread around like manure. Fertilize those young minds!
Meryl Streep
You have to embrace getting older.
Meryl Streep
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
Meryl Streep
Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.
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
Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.
Meryl Streep
I once read that in any good marriage, one partner is the gardener and the other is the garden. We take it in turns to be either.
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.
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
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
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
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.
Meryl Streep
