She is the best actress I've ever worked with, ... Silkwood.
Dakota is as good as Meryl Streep. She's as good as Goldie Hawn. There are things about Goldie as an actress that Meryl doesn't carry. And there are things about Meryl that Goldie doesn't carry. But Dakota does. She carries things of both of them. Her perceptions are very sharp.
I guarantee you, (Dakota) is the best actress I will work with in my entire career.
