More quotes by Meryl Streep
Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.
Meryl Streep
You're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Earl Blackwell finally died, and I was on his blacklist every year for being the worst dressed person.
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
I am not always happy. I am happy in front of the press. I can be extremely grumpy, ask my husband.
Meryl Streep
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
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

Meryl Streep
Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.
Meryl Streep
Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.
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
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
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
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
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
The progression of roles you take strings together a portrait of an actor, but it's a completely random process.
Meryl Streep
That is the simple secret. Always take your heart to work.
Meryl Streep
Put blinders on to those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.
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
Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.
Meryl Streep
