More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I've considered having my nose fixed. But I didn't trust anyone enough. If I could do it myself with a mirror.
Barbra Streisand
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
Barbra Streisand
I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.
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
I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it's a lot of work. It's work to be a star. I don't enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.
Barbra Streisand
I can say, 'I am terribly frightened and fear is terrible and awful and it makes me uncomfortable, so I won't do that because it makes me uncomfortable.' Or I could say, 'Get used to being uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable doing something that's risky. But so what? Do you want to stagnate and just be comfortable?'
Barbra Streisand
As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.
Barbra Streisand
It’s like an American tradition. A person gets successful and then he’s supposed to change for the worse. It’s silly.
Barbra Streisand
I was a personality before I became a person.
Barbra Streisand
You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
Barbra Streisand
The artist as citizen is here to stay.
Barbra Streisand
I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberatorsthey fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?
Barbra Streisand
It's very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will.
Barbra Streisand
It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table.
Barbra Streisand
I'm sure that I don't know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.
Barbra Streisand
Why don't you have a cup of coffee at least? I, um, I'm a little low in sugar and I don't have any cream, but it's real coffee.
Barbra Streisand
You know, for me, the realization that two people should have the right to form a sacred union regardless of their gender was strengthened when I saw a performance of the play The Normal Heart in 1985. After feeling the love those two men had for each other, I dare anybody not to want them to get married by the end.
