More quotes by Meryl Streep
I've thought a lot about the power of empathy. In my work, it's the current that connects me and my actual pulse to a fictional character in a made up story, it allows me to feel, pretend feelings and sorrows and imagined pain.
Meryl Streep
Expensive clothes are a waste of money.
Meryl Streep
Acting is being susceptible to what is around you, and it's letting it all come in. Acting is a clearing away of everything except what you want and need - and it's wonderful in that way. And when it's right, you're lost in the moment.
Meryl Streep
I have a very busy life, and not many people who have a career and four kids go out a lot to the movies.
Meryl Streep
I feel very strongly that we make decisions about what we're giving to the world, what we're withholding from the world, by virtue of what we put on our bodies.
Meryl Streep
I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.
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
One of the most important keys to acting is curiosity. I am curious to the point of being nosy. What that means is you want to devour lives. You're eager to put on their shoes and wear their clothes and have them become a part of you. All people contain mystery, and when you act, you want to plumb that mystery until everything is known to you.
Meryl Streep
I follow no doctrine. I don't belong to a church or a temple or a synagogue or an ashram.
Meryl Streep
Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.
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
Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.
Meryl Streep
I'm never so sure as I was in my mid-20s.
Meryl Streep
I would like Martin Scorsese to be interested in a female character once in a while, but I don’t know if I’ll live that long.
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
I guess a normal woman would find it extremely enjoyable to wear fancy clothes. For me, I didn't enjoy it. It felt like a straight jacket.
Meryl Streep
I do honestly think that if women were running the world there would be more investment in peace, because basically as women we do not want to see our children killed. Maybe I am completely idealistic, but until we see women in equal positions of power in the world, I just think that we are doomed.
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
Interestingly, young people don't come to you for advice. Especially the ones who are related to you.
Meryl Streep
I have four to five months, tops!, per year to give to my acting work.
