More quotes by Barbra Streisand
Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.
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
I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.
Barbra Streisand
Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.
Barbra Streisand
And remember, this was a president (George W. Bush) who was selected by the Supreme Court rather than the people.
Barbra Streisand
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
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
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
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
Barbra Streisand
We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities.
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
New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen.
Barbra Streisand
I don't care what you say about me. Just be sure to spell my name wrong.
Barbra Streisand
I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.
Barbra Streisand
I am a nice person. I care about my driver having lunch, you know.
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'm a terrible lip-syncer anyway because I have to be in the moment, and I can't lip-sync to something I recorded three months before.
Barbra Streisand
I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
Barbra Streisand
If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
Barbra Streisand
