Image
There is nothing more important in life than love.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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
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.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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
Image
When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn't pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.
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'm not weird, just different from people who aren't different.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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
Image
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Moviemakers can be late to a subject, or afraid, but often they are brave and ahead of their time.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall Democrat, Republican black, white gay, straight-a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
Barbra Streisand
Image
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
Barbra Streisand
Image
I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.
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.

They're called 'angels' because they're in heaven until the reviews come out.
Barbra Streisand
Image
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.
