More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I'm not weird, just different from people who aren't different.
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
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
Barbra Streisand
And remember, this was a president (George W. Bush) who was selected by the Supreme Court rather than the people.

Life's too short. Start with Dessert!
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
I never liked stardom. It's weird to me. I only like the creative process. I only like the work.
Barbra Streisand
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
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
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
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
Everybody's frightened a bit. But how many of us just go through the fear and do it anyway?
Barbra Streisand
I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.
Barbra Streisand
The idea of a liberal media bias is simply a myth. If only it were true, we might have a more humane, open-minded, and ultimately effective public debate on the issues facing the country.
Barbra Streisand
The audience is the barometer of the truth.
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
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.
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
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
New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen.
