More quotes by Barbra Streisand
I love road trips! My husband and I love that. We bought a truck with a bench seat so we could put the dog in the middle.
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 hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That's what's fun about recording with an orchestra.
Barbra Streisand
I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.
Barbra Streisand
It's very often the artist who gives a voice to the voiceless by speaking up when no one else will.
Barbra Streisand
They're called 'angels' because they're in heaven until the reviews come out.
Barbra Streisand
I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.
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
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.
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
My mother told me I should be a secretary, but I wanted to be an actress from when I was very young.
Barbra Streisand
I'm a work in progress.
Barbra Streisand
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.
Barbra Streisand
It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table.
Barbra Streisand
Issues of foreign policy have a place in every election for President.
Barbra Streisand
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.
Barbra Streisand
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
Barbra Streisand
I'm sure that I don't know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.
Barbra Streisand
Moviemakers can be late to a subject, or afraid, but often they are brave and ahead of their time.
Barbra Streisand
I can say, 'I am terribly frightened and fear is terrible and awful and it makes me uncomfortable, so I won't do that because it makes me uncomfortable.' Or I could say, 'Get used to being uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable doing something that's risky. But so what? Do you want to stagnate and just be comfortable?'
Barbra Streisand
