Quote

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.

The artist as citizen is here to stay.

And remember, this was a president (George W. Bush) who was selected by the Supreme Court rather than the people.
Barbra Streisand
Image
For me, one of the most disturbing elements of the right wing's political agenda is that it believes that there is one correct spiritual and moral path for all people to follow. The danger inherent in this is its explicit refusal to accept anyone who happens to lead a different lifestyle, and the condemnation of those who differ.

I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.
Barbra Streisand

Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
Barbra Streisand

I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.

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
Image
On a very basic level, many people think celebrities have too much already, so we shouldn't be entitled to our political opinions.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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
Image
I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I don't care what you say about me. Just be sure to spell my name wrong.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I don't like talking about myself and I don't like talking about the work.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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.

I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.

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.

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.

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.
