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.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Show business has been really, really good to me because I can work and take a lot of time off, and I'm extremely undisciplined person.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Service is the only thing that's important about love. Everybody is worried about 'losing yourself' - all this narcissism. Duty. We can't stand that idea now either... But duty might be a suit of armor you put on to fight for your love.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs. Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Chris Cooper is one of my favorite actors in the world. I've seen him in most everything he's done.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
You can't strategize falling in love, can you? It's never worked. People love you the most and set you up, and it doesn't work because you can't predict these things. You fall in love serially.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
If I am not confident that I can portray the character perfectly on screen, I won't even try.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Hillary Clinton has taken some fire over 40 years of her fight for families and children. How does she do it? That's what I want to know. Where does she get her grit and her grace? Where do any of our female firsts, our pathbreakers, where do they find that strength?
Quote by -Meryl Streep
There's no road map on how to raise a family: it's always an enormous negotiation.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
The aggregate of everybody's emotion, it's such a powerful thing. You can see it in the Trump rallies, where people - I just know, in their living rooms, would be better people - are driven to the worst possibilities by the bloodlust in a crowd. It just gets ginned up, and they're outside of themselves.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
There are wonderfully talented actresses. It's a really rich field. There isn't as rich a field of material.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I'm really interested in the collaborative thing. It's what makes it scary because you never know what it's going to end up like. But you hope. You put yourself in the hands of the best people you can find, and you're completely dependent on the kindness of strangers and their commitment. It's like this mutual delusion.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I was offered, within one year, three different witch roles. It was almost like the world was saying - or the studios were saying - 'We don't know what to do with you.'
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I let the actions of my life stand for what I am as a human being. Contend with that, not the words.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I think we all think we sound really good in the shower, where there's that nice reverb, and the water's drowning you out, and there is some liberation in the freedom of being totally alone and really going for it.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
What does it take to be the first female anything? It takes grit, and it takes grace.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I always feel like I can't do it, that I can't go through with a movie. But then I do go through with it after all.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
How you first meet the public is how the industry sees you. You can't argue with them. That's their perception.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies; I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Obsession is an attractive thing. People who are really, really interested and good at one thing and smart are attractive, if they're men.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
It's a good thing to imagine yourself doing something you think you can't. I do that every day because, basically, if I had it my way, I'd just stay home and think about what I'm having for supper.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Don't give up or give in in the face of patronising ridicule, amused disdain, or being ignored.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Grace, respect, reserve, and empathetic listening are qualities sorely missing from the public discourse now.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
Don't waste so much time thinking about how much you weigh. There is no more mind-numbing, boring, idiotic, self-destructive diversion from the fun of living.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
You just have to keep on doing what you do. It's the lesson I get from my husband; he just says, Keep going. Start by starting.
Quote by -Meryl Streep
It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.
