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

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 need instant gratification.
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
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
When I sing, people shut up.
Barbra Streisand
I never sing in the shower either.
Barbra Streisand

The artist as citizen is here to stay.
Barbra Streisand
I remember when I was 5 living on Pulaski Street in Brooklyn, the hallway of our building had a brass banister and a great sound, a great echo system. I used to sing in the hallway.
Barbra Streisand
I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.
Barbra Streisand
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
Barbra Streisand
I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
Barbra Streisand
On a very basic level, many people think celebrities have too much already, so we shouldn't be entitled to our political opinions.
Barbra Streisand
Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?
Barbra Streisand
