“It was extraordinary to work with Streep. Because she would come to work exactly the way a child goes to work in a school play: with sort of feeling of ‘Oh boy, I get to do this again!’ And it was quite literally inspiring and moving to see somebody who loved it so much.”

“Acting is not about being someone different. It’s finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.”

-Meryl Streep
