ADD QUOTES
- Meryl: (on being one of the most renowned actresses of all time) I'm not amazed by it. It's like with Obama. Two days after he won, people were still going up to every black person they knew and saying, "Aren't you amazed?" Why should you be amazed when the most qualified person is elected? I've worked hard, so this is what I expect. It may not be the norm, but it should be.

- Meryl: Motherhood, marriage, it's a balancing act-especially when you have a job you consider rewarding. It's the best kind of challenge.
  Edit Share Hide
- Meryl: (about the 2008 film "Mamma Mia") It was such an opportunity to just sing and dance and be happy, and I was happy every single day of this shoot, and it was just completely joyful. I mean, we were in Greece, for goodness sake! The movie has a lot of great female stuff, and I think that's good. It's a wonderful movie that makes you feel better.
