Mike Nichols on Working With Meryl Streep
Nichols: It’s much, much easier to work with the best. It’s easier to drive a Ferrari, you know? And to some extent Meryl, and in another way Shirley, spoil you for many other actors because their arsenal, their resources are so enormous, so varied, so endlessly renewed that you come – I’ve come to expect after three picture with Meryl that whatever I ask of her she can do easily. I’ve never run into anything that she can’t do. I’ve worked with a lot of very good actors and everyone has – It’s like being right-handed, everyone has a left-hand to his or her gift. Not Meryl.
