To date, the Strip has built a brilliant career in Hollywood, has created a strong family and gave the lion's share of fees to charity.

A truly wise woman with a big heart and broad outlook on life often surprises with bright phrases, saturated with life experience and humor. On the occasion of the birthday of Meryl Streep HB STYLE gathered the rules of life of the actress.

1. When I was young, I found myself in a car with an idiot who was driving 120 miles per hour. I could have said, “Hey Jerome, stop, I'm scared.” But I said nothing. This happens often in life. You are scared to death, but you are silent.

2. Recently I saw Woody Allen’s “Manhattan” on TV and remembered how ugly I seemed then - a fat woman with a giant nose. I wanted to be thin, like the models in magazines, but at some point I realized that I wasn’t going to have the chance, and I resigned myself to it.

3. A glass of wine is what always helps me out.

4. I am so grateful to God that I still live. Many of my friends are sick, many have died, and I'm still here. I have nothing to complain about.

5. My advice: do not waste so much time taking care of whether you have perfect skin or whether you are over a kilogram. Think about what you have done in this life, what you have in your hands.

6. I believe in the power of laughter. And it seems to me that you can easily disarm people if you succeed in making them laugh.

7. For me, clothes are a character trait, a part of me. I don't follow fashion and don't understand anything about trends.

8. I like to grow old, because now, if I am offered a role, it is usually damn interesting.

9. I am against plastic surgery. Moreover, when I meet a person with traces of plastic, it is difficult for me to communicate with him. It's like a veil that hides your face from everyone.

10. In fact, only three simple things are enough for happiness - love, delicious food and sex.

11. I like who I have become. Other people may not, but now I feel more comfortable and freer. You have to accept your age that you are getting older every year. Life is so precious! When you start losing people around you, you realize that every day is a gift for you.

12. You do not have to be known. You just have to make your father and mother proud of you.
