Streep really has been helpful in giving her lessons in confidence and being a great role model and inspiration. “I think she does it in a way that she doesn’t even understand or think she’s doing it,” said Davis. In another interview with Entertainment Tonight, Davis was more specific about how supporting Streep was since they first became friends. “I never feel like the words she has for me are haphazard. I feel like they’re very specific and they’re well thought out and that makes me feel good. It makes me feel like she really is a friend, that she really takes me in.”
