Meryl Streep
The work itself is the reward, and if I choose challenging work, it'll pay me back with interest. At least I'll be interested, even if nobody else is.
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
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
First I'm going to thank Don because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech they play him out with the music and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me.
Meryl Streep
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Meryl Streep
