Asked by an Egyptian reporter about the lack of diversity on the berlin film festival jury and whether she understood films from the Arab world and North Africa, Streep said that while she didn't know much about the region, "I've played a lot of different people from a lot of different cultures."
"There is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture, and after all we're all from Africa originally," she added. "Berliners, we're all Africans really."
