Anyone who has been to Times Talks, please tell me what it is like down there?

[DoubtAsCertainty]

"I zone out into my thing"

-what a way to describe one of the greatest gifts there are, that lead to those incredible performances!

Meryl Streep is so fantstic! So natural! Jeez ...

[millvalleyrn]

Stanley - I love you, damn it!

[behindhzleyes18]

If I could be adopted by any two people in the world, it would have to be, hands down, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci.

[Mr1958louief]

Outstanding!!

[MrsLisaPotter]

8:23 

[mkc1956]

I love Meryl's laugh at 8:23 .....it's so free, so loose and open. You can tell she's really comofrtable with herself, and not worried about what people think. You can tell a lot about people when they laugh, and she just lets herself go. Yet ANOTHER reason why Meryl is my favorite person in the world <3

[queenpatrice2009]

what does that mean " stuff the hen until she just can't take it anymore" ??

[skylar1477]

Meryl's laugh was priceless!!! LOL!!!

Reminds me of the same laugh she did from her movie "silkwood", haha!!!

[skylar1477]

Meryl's laugh was priceless!!! LOL!!!

[Pichucita]

I adore Stanley Tucci!! such a great actor!! and gorgeous too!!

[Redhairedlady65]

@spaceturtlesreturn

Spacey and Tucci are both great actors and I admire them. But they are so different. Spaceys performances are just brilliant. In Interviews he is always charming, funny, a perfect entertainer. Tucci is an intellectual. Sometimes just a second view shows you, how good he really is. In interviews he prefers to talk about his work instead of cracking jokes. If I ever would have the chance to talk to one of them, it would be a difficult choice. But I would decide for Tucci.

[spaceturtlesreturn]

I don't like this guy. He tries too hard to be like Kevin Spacey -but he'll never be as cool.

[MrYoyomovies]

Stanley is gorgeous. Have you guys seen him in his breakout role in "A Modern Affair"? He's amaaaazing. <3 <3 <3

[HaveFaithInU]

balding men are so sexy!

[lilianfer1]

q me people working alongside Meryl has a great chance as if he worked in a movie with meryl, would die of heart so much happiness

[lilianfer1]

meryl I find a very funny person, always smiling clown a lot, and also think it best actress in the world, the only q enters with a good mood ae and Meryl, I think the Stanley boring in whatever he is not much to laugh I think he kind of crude, I do not know when he's close to meryl he is so serious, I saw a Stanley well in the Making of the devil wears prada, so he was a clown on the side of Anne and poker on the side of meryl it is a so?

[Merylfan034]

Haha I love her little dance too. That was so cute.! Shes so amazing.!

ilovemeryl.

[0732jamie]

What a beautiful interview! I love how this interviewer lets the actors talk, you don't find that much anymore. I am so glad that Meryl pays attention to things that are normally none of the actors business because it adds so much more to her performance when she understands absolutely everything about the character. I am sure any director is thrilled with her input even if they disagree.

[0crazyfrog0]

Meryl, I want your shoes!!! hahaha

I'm sure every movie Meryl is in, she makes it fun to work with her. She seems like that kind of person. Even if she could be a bit bossy and I'm sure she does it in a nice way. But hey, at least she doesn't let people walk all over her! ;)

[whatlobster2]

"Stuff the hen until she just can't take it anymore"

Stanley Tucci is so precious. What a talented, funny, and charismatic actor!

[saraismyname]

"But in a good way...don't you think?" "Of course I think!" ;D Meryl must be the most hilarious person on this earth ;D Love her <3

[merylsnumberonefan]

Meryl is amazing, I was at this interview and she is so beautiful. Everyone was so funny, I wish the whole show coud be viewed it was great!!!

[Tigerlily21]

Nora Ephron is funny too, yall.

Meryl must be bossy on sets. You can tell by the way Stanley is talking.

[Tigerlily21]

You people are crazy. Why did I get so many thumbs down? Meryl herself admits she's bossy! Jesus you people need to chill. I wasn't even dissing her but you people are probably just a bunch of ignorant teenie bobbers who never even noticed Meryl until Mamma Mia and the Devil Wears Prada so you're not mature enough to accept anything that's not "OMG She's AMAZING!". She is amazing and I wasn't dissing her, so chill.

[lttlpeppy]

i didnt know who meryl streep was until i watched mamma mia. i wasnt ignorant i had just turned 15. i watched that movie so many times until i realized the reason i liked it so much was because of meryl. please dont take this as a mean reply because its not. i totally agree with your other post and gave it a thumbs up.

[karensilkwood]

her laugh kills me every time LOL amazing

[ivelosthewilltolive]

[5laura0005]

[bulldozer2171]

@ PeachyBumEmi: ive seen it, and they were hilarious or do they have a new interview? bcause i dont think there's one coz meryl's off for vacation & probably back to circulation when she promotes Fantastic Mr Fox and It's Complicated...

[bulldozer2171]

[meryldepp]

Omg please, i'm french. Can someone explain me what Nora's saying at 10:52 which is so funny ?? lol Great interview ! I love everytime Meryl says "Bon appétit" lol

[mcklesphere]

They are talking about a line in a cooking book. Meryl found a chicken recipe and Meryl Streep can't understand the sentence that's in french. So Stanley Tucci said that wash the thighs of the chicken, and put stuff inside the hen until the hen can't the stuffing inside of her anymore.

[kimedes009]

[LazloLozlaenQro]

To the Times web team: do you realize YouTube supports widescreen video now, right? You don't have to letterbox it, which only makes it appear surrounded by a square box.

[merylfan15]

the Times only posts portions of the interview I think :(

[WaryRox]

I can't wait. I am a huge Meryl fan but I feel pretty good about this movie with Nora directing it and Stanely and Any Adams, all teaming up to make this happen.

I will be there in the theater on 8/7/09 for my birthday.

[karlaSinger]

where can I find the entire interview?
