More quotes by Meryl Streep
And it took to The Devil Wears Prada to play someone tough, who had to make hard decisions, who was running an organization, and sometimes that takes making tough decisions for a certain kind of man to empathize. That's the word - empathize. Feel the story through her. And that's the first time anybody has ever said that they felt that way.
Meryl Streep
Women are better at acting then men. Why? Because we have to be. If successfully convincing someone bigger than you are of something he doesn't want to know is a survival skill, this is how women have survived through the millennia.
Meryl Streep
I think the best role models for women are people who are fruitfully and confidently themselves, who bring light into the world.
Meryl Streep
We are who we're going to be when we're very old, and when we're very old we are who we were when we were 8.
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
True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.
Meryl Streep
The idea that people do very bad things for sometimes very good reasons, feels reasons.

Meryl Streep
As there begins to be less time ahead of you, you want to be exactly who you are, without making it easier for everyone else.
Meryl Streep
In my own life, I have noticed when I have been meeting directors, that the same sentence with the same inflection can be said by a man, like: Get me this. But if the same thing is said by a woman, it's seen as harsh and unacceptable. That always fascinates me.
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
On every film, the clothes are half the battle in creating the character. I have a great deal of opinion about how my people are presented. We show a great deal by what we put on our bodies.
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 biggest lesson I learned in my career was to ask other people what they make because the men usually make more than you do. And it's good to know. You're not allowed to ask...but it's good to ask.
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
Margaret Thatcher was a pioneer, willingly or unwillingly, for the role of women in politics.
Meryl Streep
I think your self emerges more clearly over time.
Meryl Streep
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
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.
