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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.
Barbra Streisand
Everybody's frightened a bit. But how many of us just go through the fear and do it anyway?
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
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
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'm a work in progress.
Barbra Streisand
Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.
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
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 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
He (son Jason) doesn't see me as a (gay) icon, he sees me as his mother who touches his hair too much. No, I love being an icon to anybody. Equal rights, you know?
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
Issues of foreign policy have a place in every election for President.
Barbra Streisand
I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valenties and cupids and all of that crap. I want it all.
Barbra Streisand
It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.
Barbra Streisand
I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.
