Yeah, I did need a lot of breath [to play Margaret Thatcher]. I needed much more breath than I have, after all of my expensive drama school training. I couldn't keep up with her.

The thing that you have to fi...

The thing that you have to fight the most when you lose is you feel like the biggest failure in the world.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

I can't do a lot of things, l...

I can't do a lot of things, like golf. I don't like golf. I mean, I really don't, because I tend to like things that I can do right away. If I can't do it right away, I don't like it.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

Integrate what you believe in...

Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too. Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

I do honestly think that if w...

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.

The greatest gift given to man by God - is the ability to empathize.

Listening is everything. List...

Listening is everything. Listening is the whole deal. That's what I think. And I mean that in terms of before you work, after you work, in between work, with your children, with your husband, with your friends, with your mother, with your father. It's everything. And it's where you learn everything.

The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

Pretending is not just play. ...

Pretending is not just play. Pretending is imagined possibility. Pretending, or acting, is a very valuable life skill and we do it all the time.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

I have a very clear understan...

I have a very clear understanding of what my voice is. It's like a B voice. It hovers around B-minus, B-plus. I have great friends who are wonderful singers, and I know I'll never be able to do that. But singing through a character is something I can do.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

Everything we say signifies; ...

Everything we say signifies; everything counts, that we put out into the world. It impacts on kids, it impacts on the zeitgeist of the time.

America doesn't reward people of my age, either in day-to-day life or for their performances.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

And it interferes with your a...

And it interferes with your ability to be a good actress if you're constantly aware of yourself as a person. To me, it isn't valuable to think about how I'm coming off all the time if I'm trying to create a character, because that's a process that I love. It's like falling in love and surrendering to another person or a character.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

Sometimes with my children, I...

Sometimes with my children, I remember exactly how I felt as the child in this situation, not just how it feels to be me.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

Leave me to the thing I love....

Leave me to the thing I love. I love acting. But being called 'the greatest living actress' - a designation not even my mother would sanction - is the opposite of good or valuable or useful. It is a curse for a working actor.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

People at agencies and studio...

People at agencies and studios, including the parent boards, might look around the table at the decision-making level and feel something is wrong if half their participants are not women. Because our tastes are different, what we value is different. Not better, different.

Enough people write about me ...

Enough people write about me every day without even interviewing me.

Meryl Streep 312 quotes

When I was a kid, when I was ...

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.
