Meryl Streep looked quite effervescent on the cover of the January 2012 Vogue magazine. The 62 year old leading actress, who captivated fashion heads’ heart’s in The Devil Wear’s Prada is now starring in The Iron Lady.

Here is what the legendary actress had to say in the pages of Vogue:

On playing Margaret Thatcher: “With any character I play, where she is me is where I meet her. It’s very easy to set people at arm’s length and judge them. Yes, you can judge the policies and the actions and the shortcomings – but to live inside that body is another thing entirely. And it’s humbling on a certain level and infuriating, just like it is to live in your own body. Because you recognize your own failings, and I have no doubt that she recognized hers.”

On feeling strongly about the film: “Because the material embedded in it is a lot of what I’ve been thinking about. The themes in the film, which I don’t feel like underlining, have interested me for a while. And you never see these subjects covered in films normally, and so that was very thrilling.”
