More quotes by Barbra Streisand
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.
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
My mother never really thought I could become anything.
Barbra Streisand

It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.

Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.
Barbra Streisand
There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.
Barbra Streisand
I don't like talking about myself and I don't like talking about the work.
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’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.
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
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
Barbra Streisand
I don't know why it is that we need to denigrate, to knock down. It's so sick.
Barbra Streisand
I think, is wonderful about growing older, is appreciation for the miracle of existence, of life. I thank God every day. I also do believe that belief and imagination manifests reality. And therefore, even though it took twenty-five years, I did find the house, eventually, and the man I could live with.
Barbra Streisand
