THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT'S WOMAN

QUOTES

Meryl Streep, Entertainment Weekly, March 2000
"I thought it was very interesting, but I must say, I could never attach to either of my characters ever. It was very disconcerting - I didn't know who I was at any given moment. This movie... set me aside from myself. I didn't know where the actress was manipulating the guy through her character. Everything was so conscious, and I don't like to be conscious when I'm acting. I like to be unconscious - extremly unconscious."
