More quotes by 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
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
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
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 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'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.
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
I never liked stardom. It's weird to me. I only like the creative process. I only like the work.
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
. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.
Barbra Streisand
Moviemakers can be late to a subject, or afraid, but often they are brave and ahead of their time.
Barbra Streisand
There is nothing more important in life than love.
Barbra Streisand
I don't know why it is that we need to denigrate, to knock down. It's so sick.
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
Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall Democrat, Republican black, white gay, straight-a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same.
Barbra Streisand
I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.
Barbra Streisand
I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
Barbra Streisand
I tell you what I envy about people in love - I'd love it if someone knew me I mean really knew me. What I like what I'm afraid of what kind of toothpaste I use. - Rose Morgan
Barbra Streisand
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.
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.
