More quotes by 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
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
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
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
Barbra Streisand
I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.
Barbra Streisand
I was a personality before I became a person.
Barbra Streisand
I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.
Barbra Streisand
I love road trips! My husband and I love that. We bought a truck with a bench seat so we could put the dog in the middle.
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'm sure that I don't know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.
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
Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?
Barbra Streisand
What reaches an audience is honesty. If you're saying something truthful that's supposed to be a funny line, it's going to be funny. And if it's supposed to be a serious line, it's going to be serious. But, I don't think there's a distinction between how you play drama or comedy, if it's based in the truth.
Barbra Streisand
Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.
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
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
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
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.
Barbra Streisand
How I wish we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from discrimination.
