More quotes by Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

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.

My family really does come first. It always did and always will.
Meryl Streep
Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.
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
Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
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
Being an actor lets me be a million different things.
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.
