[1987 comment on Meryl Streep] Let`s just say I found her a little distant. I hardly got to know her. We had dinner a couple of times, but she only spoke about work. I didn`t find her easy to work with, but it`s not her job to make it easy for me.

The people whose secrets I most want to know are people who actually have families and marriages as well as careers - people like Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Julianne Moore. I think that if I were like mid-30s and didn`t have kids yet I would probabl...

[On her character on The Truman Show (1998)]: Well the thing that was interesting was that we sort of did these back stories about these characters and where they were and what was going on with them. And when the movie picks up, Hanna Gill, who plays Mer...

[at the Coolidge Award ceremony in 2006 for Meryl Streep] I was redundant! Meryl Streep doesn`t need a director. She`s kind to them; she`s really nice. She`ll compliment you, and say, "That was good - what you did." I was so happy the next day to get on t...

[1987 comment on Shirley MacLaine] She`s an extraordinary woman, a little `round the bend I think, but she`s been doing what she does for a long time and she does it very well. Where Meryl Streep is intellectual, Shirley follows her gut. I like that bette...

(asked if winning the Globe was a shock) God, yes! I was so sure I wasn`t going to win it, I went up to Meryl Streep (nominated for The Manchurian Candidate) before the show and said, "You`re going down." We`d done a play together, so I knew her pretty we...
Natalie Portman
[on working with Meryl Streep in "Kramer Vs. Kramer"] She`s an ox when it comes to acting. She eats words for breakfast. Working with her is like playing tennis with Chris Evert -- she keeps trying to hit the perfect ball.
Dustin Hoffman
Acting is very personal. I don`t want to be like anybody else. There are positions I would like to be in -- like Meryl Streep`s, for instance.

The Acadamy Awards shouldn`t even nominate Meryl Streep anymore. She should just be given an award every year. There should just be the Meryl Streep category.

Sandra Bullock
She is just divine. As a human being, she has basically accomplished everything that I want to do ... It`s not that she just gets inside the character, she`s just absolutely at the center of all of her choices, of the truth of the character - On working w...
Anne Hathaway
About her film Chaos (2006): When this came to be early this year, I was ecstatic. I couldn`t believe that I was actually going to work with Meryl Streep, someone I`ve always admired. In all my interviews 10 years ago people used to ask who is your favour...

I find that there are more interesting roles for women my age in the independent world, which is not to say that there aren`t phenomenal roles in studio films, but 99% of the time they go to Meryl Streep or a very short list of women. Very short. And beca...
