Meryl Streep

The American actress, Meryl Streep, equally comfortable with comedic material as with heavy dramatic fare, is widely respected and considered to be one of the most  talented  and skilled actors of all time. Streep is one of the select actors to have won all four major motion picture acting awards (Oscars, Golden Globes, SAG, and BAFTA awards). She is the most nominated actor (both male and female) in Academy Award history with 14 nominations. She has starred in such renowned films as ‘The Deerhunter’, ‘Sophie’s Choice’, ‘Kramer vs. Kramer’, ‘Silkwood’, and ‘Out of Africa’.  Streep is currently starring in Robert Redford’s new political thriller, ‘Lions for Lambs’, also starring Tom Cruise.

“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.”

“The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy, we can all sense a mysterious connection to each other. I like to investigate these different women to see what the commonality is with me. When I get the script and read their story, I hear the “ping!” that makes a connection with my own life.”

“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.”

“You can’t get spoiled if you do your own ironing.”

“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.”

“I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.”

 

- Meryl Streep (1949- )
