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.

Ron Howard

I wanna meet Meryl Streep, so she can be my mama. I want Meryl Streep to be my mom in a movie.

Tiffany Haddish

Meryl Streep is exactly as awesome as you would imagine Meryl Streep to be.

Michelle Obama

Who should play the lead role in a film about me? Dunno. Danny De Vito? Jeff Goldblum? Meryl Streep? Someone of that kind.

Douglas Adams

I was thrilled to work opposite Carl Reiner and Robert De Niro. Mr. Reiner was very chatty and delightful, but I learned that if you want Robert De Niro to like you, don't speak at all, and he'll be friendly to you.

Janeane Garofalo

When Robert Benton was doing the movie 'In the Still of the Night,' I'd choreographed the auction scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part - I was bidding against Meryl Streep.

Arne Glimcher

Meryl Streep was my hero. I wanted to be that type of actor more than anything.

Jennifer Coolidge

Robert de Niro is my favourite actor.

Mohanlal

Meryl [Streep] plays the me-ish character. I love Meryl. She's totally wonderful.

Carrie Fisher

As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.

Octavia Spencer

As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for Robert De Niro there's Al Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.

Eddie Redmayne

I have never planned my career. I chose those films with which I could relate myself. But if given a chance, I would love to do the kind of roles Meryl Streep has done.

Sridevi

Once I'm obsessed with somebody, I'm terrified of them instantly. I'm not scared of them - I'm scared of me and how I will react. Like, for instance, one time someone was introducing me to Bill Maher, and I saw Meryl Streep walk into the room, and I literally put my hand right in Bill Maher's face and said, "Not now, Bill!", and I just stared at Meryl Streep... I just creepily stared at her.
