More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I'm a work in progress.
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
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 like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.
Barbra Streisand
My mother never really thought I could become anything.
Barbra Streisand
How I wish we lived in a time when laws were not necessary to safeguard us from discrimination.
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
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.

Barbra Streisand
I was a personality before I became a person.
Barbra Streisand
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
The artist as citizen is here to stay.
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
They're called 'angels' because they're in heaven until the reviews come out.
Barbra Streisand
We cannot let the right wing roll back more than thirty years of social progress.
Barbra Streisand
