More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I don't know why it is that we need to denigrate, to knock down. It's so sick.
Barbra Streisand
In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.
Barbra Streisand
For me, one of the most disturbing elements of the right wing's political agenda is that it believes that there is one correct spiritual and moral path for all people to follow. The danger inherent in this is its explicit refusal to accept anyone who happens to lead a different lifestyle, and the condemnation of those who differ.
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
Barbra Streisand
I think, is wonderful about growing older, is appreciation for the miracle of existence, of life. I thank God every day. I also do believe that belief and imagination manifests reality. And therefore, even though it took twenty-five years, I did find the house, eventually, and the man I could live with.
Barbra Streisand
I never sing in the shower either.
Barbra Streisand
I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.
Barbra Streisand
There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.
Barbra Streisand
I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.
Barbra Streisand
How I wish we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from discrimination.
Barbra Streisand
I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.
Barbra Streisand
New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen.
