[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...

[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...

[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.

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...
