More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I prefer things that are private, so I love recording and I love making films, as a filmmaker, because it uses every bit of what you have experienced or know, whether it's graphics composition, decorating, psychology, storytelling, or whatever it is. It's a wonderful thing.
Barbra Streisand
I'm not weird, just different from people who aren't different.
Barbra Streisand
Sometimes you resent the people you love and need the most. Love is so fascinating in all its forms, and I think everyone who has ever been a mother will relate to this.
Barbra Streisand
Life's too short. Start with Dessert!
Barbra Streisand
I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.
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
There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.
Barbra Streisand
I need instant gratification.
Barbra Streisand
I still like my antique clothes.
Barbra Streisand
I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.
Barbra Streisand
I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.
Barbra Streisand
Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.
Barbra Streisand
I never sing in the shower either.
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
When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.
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 just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.
Barbra Streisand
My friend Quincy Jones says we won our first Grammys together in 1963. I have no recollection. I don't even remember the room. When he showed me the picture, I remembered what I wore. But it's like awards don't mean anything.
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
. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.
