Meryl Streep was my hero. I wanted to be that type of actor more than anything.
As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.
I wanna meet Meryl Streep, so she can be my mama. I want Meryl Streep to be my mom in a movie.
Meryl Streep is exactly as awesome as you would imagine Meryl Streep to be.
My all-time favourite actor is Meryl Streep. She can do anything and everything. She's so good in 'Sophie's Choice.' She changes her accent so well, which is something actors in India don't do although we should, so that we can be more authentic to our craft.
I never wanted to be a brand director. I didn't want that kind of stamp. I wanted to be more like Pacino or Dustin Hoffman or Meryl Streep or De Niro - you know, a chameleon as a storyteller - because I love all kinds of movies.
You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow. And as an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged. And unfortunately, there's a lack of roles for women of color, so you actually have to be the engineer creating some of those roles.
I would watch anything with Meryl Streep in it.
I will never be a Robert De Niro or Meryl Streep, the kind of actor that disappears into a role.
Meryl [Streep] plays the me-ish character. I love Meryl. She's totally wonderful.
I used to watch 'Death Becomes Her,' and I knew I wanted to become Meryl Streep.
Acting is my true love. I would like to have been a serious actor, and I plan to in the next life. I'm gonna be Meryl Streep Rivers.
I'm not Meryl Streep. My God - she's the greatest actor that ever lived. It's sad that ordinary actors like me are compared to her.
I doubt I'm more secure than Meryl Streep... I guess actors just never feel secure.
People say to me, 'Well, how do you direct Meryl Streep?' You're not wandering over to Meryl telling her how to act. She's an extraordinary talent and unbelievably hard working; she works harder than anyone I have ever worked with before.
Meryl Streep's brilliant, just brilliant. I've been fortunate to do two movies with Meryl. And for an actor to go moment to moment like she does, there's no one better. And she dances between moments. Each take is different because she's riding instincts, she's riding impulses. And she trusts that.
[There is] type [of actors ]a true thespian who doesn't give a flying rat's ass what it is as long as it's deep, powerful, and painful, and they will dive in headfirst. I really respect those people. Meryl Streep is amazing at it.
