Before I do a movie, I watch Meryl Streep movies over and over. It's not to mimic her. It's to remind myself to be more committed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At a party recently I was introduced to Meryl Streep, and it took me a second to get my head around it. You know, that I'm meeting these people now. I'm doing it.
Meryl Streep does things I would never have thought possible... Her presence on screen is outstanding.
As far as actresses go, I love Meryl Streep.
I have the highest regard for Meryl Streep as an actress and think she's a fabulous person as well.
Meryl Streep is exactly as awesome as you would imagine Meryl Streep to be.
Meryl Streep is awesome.
I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.
It is so inspiring when you come across a woman who is very strong and dedicated and is amazing at what they do. That's how I feel about Meryl Streep. You watch her, and you can't help but notice all of that about her. She's so influential.
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.
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.
