It’s not too late for anyone who truly wants it, and is willing to try.

SO EXCITED!

Meryl: (laughs) That’s Emma.

Ellen: Emma Thompson in “Angels in America”.

Meryl: Oh. Ooh. Looks like. I don’t know.

Ellen: How many women have you kissed?

Meryl: I don’t know, I don’t know. I can’t remember how many women. (laughs) 

Ellen: It’s Sandra Bullock. 

Meryl: Oh yeah, right. Ok.

Ellen: Yes. The Critics’ Choice Awards.

Meryl: That’s right, that’s right.

Ellen: You don’t remember that?

Meryl: Yeah, yeah. I got it.

In August 1965, after I cried for about three days, promised that I’d do the dishes for the next 4 years, my parents finally relented and let me go into New York, on a date, for the first time, to see this new English band we were all so emotional about. (…) I had a little sign that said ‘I’ll love you forever Paul’. I don’t think he saw it. That’s why I’m so beside myself happy to be here tonight to finally meet him and to present him with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award: Paul McCartney.
