(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Biel hopes that she will one day be as successful as Meryl Streep.

The 28-year-old star said that the 61-year-old award-winning actress an inspiration to her, and she would love to mirror her career.

In particular it is Meryls versatility to perform in anything from musicals and light-hearted films to serious genres that makes her want to follow in the Hollywood legends footsteps.

There are lots of people I look up to like Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet. And Meryl Streep. Those are the women who can do anything, Meryl can do Mamma Mia, Doubt and then Julie & Julia and nobody questions it. Jessica told Stylist magazine.

The A-Team actress - who is going out with Justin Timberlake - insists she will never take her success for granted. She believes that critical acclaim comes from constant hard work, not sitting back and taking things as they come.

I would hope that for my future, that I can be challenged with different genres and characters, but at the same time Ill never step back and think, Oh, Ive made it now, you can relax because I dont think successful women like that ever feel that way.

Jessica said that buying into the clean house, clean mind mantra is one that really helps her to concentrate on her career.

When it comes to mess, the American beauty has a zero-tolerance attitude.

A tidy house! She exclaimed when asked what put her in a good state of mind. Im kind of an organised person I dont like clutter. Ill go, What is it? Oh, we are tossing it! I want everything off the counter, no piles. Put all that stuff away! (C) Cover Media
