Meryl Streep Quotations | Page 3

It's bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children's health than the pediatrician.

It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.

All that attention to the perfect lighting, the perfect this, the perfect that, I find terribly annoying.

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.

The work will stand, no matter what.

Wrinkled, wrinkled little star... hope they never see the scars.

My advice: Don't waste so much time worrying about your skin or your weight. Develop what you do, what you put your hands on in the world.

I think that we pay much more attention to fashion and our hair, skin and foreheads, our abdominal muscles and shoes than what is happening in the world. We willingly take that 'drug' and go along with that.

Everyone is interesting. Everyone has something unexpected to offer and the job of acting is to pull it out of each other.

For young women, I would say don't worry so much about your weight. Girls spend way too much time thinking about that, and there are better things. For young men, and women, too, what makes you different or weird-that's your strength. Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up. I used to hate my nose. Now I don't. It's OK.
