Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
I don't like talking about myself and I don't like talking about the work.
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
You know, for me, the realization that two people should have the right to form a sacred union regardless of their gender was strengthened when I saw a performance of the play The Normal Heart in 1985. After feeling the love those two men had for each other, I dare anybody not to want them to get married by the end.
Barbra Streisand
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
