An actor with that enviable chameleon quality, Meryl Streep is also a badass woman who is an inspiration for more than 3 generations. Here are 10 Meryl Streep quotes for you.

Meryl Streep is in my opinion the best actor of her generation, one of those actors who are widely celebrated for her versatility.

It’s her 70th birthday this weekend, on the 22nd of June, and here are some Meryl Streep quotes to be inspired by.

“The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.”
“True freedom is understanding that we have a choice in who and what we allow to have power over us.”
“My advice: don’t waste so much time worrying about your skin or your weight. Develop what you do, what you put your hands on in the world.”
“The formula of happiness and success is just being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can.”
“You have to embrace getting older. Life is precious, and when you’ve lost a lot of people, you realize each day is a gift.”
“People will say to me, ‘You’ve played so many strong women’ and I’ll say, ‘Have you ever said to a man, ‘You’ve played so many strong men?’”
“Put blinders onto those things that conspire to hold you back, especially the ones in your own head.”
“It’s good to push yourself and do what you don’t necessarily want to do, that if you’re not automatically good at it, you should try it. Trying is so important.”
“Integrate what you believe in every single area of your life. Take your heart to work and ask the most and best of everybody else, too.”
“As there begins to be less time ahead of you, you want to be exactly who you are, without making it easier for everyone else.”

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
