Meryl Streep says career affected her friendships

Actress Meryl Streep says she regrets spending less time with her friends due to her busy career.

The "Mamma Mia" actress shared that due to her busy career and her "civic concerns", her relationship with close friends suffered a lot, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"My friendships suffered from a lack of attention in favour of the time taken up by my family, my career and civic concerns," the 66-year-old told Time Out magazine.

Also talking about what makes her angry, the Academy Award winner said: "Deliberate ignorance of global warming by the richest, best-educated people and institutions in the world, as if it will not profoundly impact on them, their privileged lives and their families."
