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.

I believe in imagination. I did Kramer vs. Kramer before I had children. But the mother I would be was already inside me.

I'm all over the place.

All an actor has is their blind faith that they are who they say they are today, in any scene.

My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.

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

Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.

The work is the most fun; it seems illicit how much fun it is.

The work will stand, no matter what.

I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors.
