Meryl Streep: the Years don't change a person — they grind

One of the greatest Actresses of our time in the opinion of film critics, three-time winner of the award "Oscar" (and 19-time nominee for the award — more than any actor or actress in history), the eightfold winner of the "Golden globe" (and 29-time nominee — an absolute historical record), 67-year-old beauty Meryl Streep about her life after fifty.





"I like who I've become. Other people may not, but now I feel more comfortable and freer. You should take your age, every year older. Life is so precious! When you start to lose people around you, you realize that every day is a gift for you."

"I remember at the age of eight I was literally in love with my grandmother. I took her eyebrow pencil, stood up in front of the mirror and drew the wrinkles on your face: wanted to feel what it's like to be a grandmother. Mom then took pictures of me, I have these pictures and I laugh every time when they consider! Because that's what I am like now!"

"No, we essentially do not change. Yes, and my mother's experience says about the same: I have four children, the eldest is 27, youngest is 14. I've seen identity already evident in the baby and in the depths of his not changing. Changing the way decision-making, but decisions are taken only those human nature".

"The years don't change a person — they grind. For example, we become less arrogant. I'm 25 years was a major specialist in how and what we play. Now I'm much less sure of this."

"The older I get, the more my appetite for life, desire to self-evaluate. In my youth I was more careless. Then I thought about when the end will come. But then lost two very close friends in just two years and realized that I could be just a few seconds..."

"Everything in life is constantly changing. This is its meaning. Somebody told me: the secret of life is the ability to enjoy the passage of time. You have to be happy that you can live here and now, to do what you love. For me it is to be in a movie, and the opportunities that gives me time, I take it as a miracle! Because women my age before had one foot in the nursing home".

"When I was forty, I got three offers to play a witch."

"I'm very lazy; but when I have a job, I'm going to, because I am very afraid of failures. In General, all because of fear."





"I'm not afraid to grow old. I used to think that after forty I will not work, because my place is a young actress. But now I'm relaxed I'm fine, offers weight. And I'm healthy, which is very important. By the way, I don't consider myself an attractive woman, and I don't really care".

"I'm fucking thankful to God that you are still alive. Many of my friends are sick, many are dead, and I'm still here. I can't complain".published
