More quotes by Barbra Streisand
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
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.

I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberatorsthey fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?

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
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 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
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
I still like my antique clothes.
Barbra Streisand
It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.
