More quotes by Barbra Streisand
New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen.
Barbra Streisand
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
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
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
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
I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.
Barbra Streisand
In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.
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
I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.
Barbra Streisand
If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
Barbra Streisand
I don't know why it is that we need to denigrate, to knock down. It's so sick.
Barbra Streisand
I'm not weird, just different from people who aren't different.
Barbra Streisand
I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.
