More quotes by 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
It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.
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
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
I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.
Barbra Streisand
I'm a work in progress.
Barbra Streisand
I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberatorsthey fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?
Barbra Streisand
I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.
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
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
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
Everybody's frightened a bit. But how many of us just go through the fear and do it anyway?
Barbra Streisand
I was a personality before I became a person.
Barbra Streisand
Part of our society kills what it loves, despises what it's created. It really hates success.
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
I never liked stardom. It's weird to me. I only like the creative process. I only like the work.
Barbra Streisand
I tell you what I envy about people in love - I'd love it if someone knew me I mean really knew me. What I like what I'm afraid of what kind of toothpaste I use. - Rose Morgan
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 still like my antique clothes.
Barbra Streisand
I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.
Barbra Streisand
