Barbra Streisand
It takes me about 10 years to appreciate what it is I've done.
Barbra Streisand
We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties, arrogance and intimidation, employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks, elderly Jews and other minorities.
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
It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table.
Barbra Streisand
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.

I need instant gratification.
Barbra Streisand
I still like my antique clothes.
Barbra Streisand
My friend Quincy Jones says we won our first Grammys together in 1963. I have no recollection. I don't even remember the room. When he showed me the picture, I remembered what I wore. But it's like awards don't mean anything.
Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand
I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.
Barbra Streisand
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
Barbra Streisand
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
I hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That's what's fun about recording with an orchestra.
Barbra Streisand
. . . it is true, even people with painful childhoods. . . grow up to be more interesting people. So, there's always a positive to a negative.
Barbra Streisand
I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.
Barbra Streisand
Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
Barbra Streisand
I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
Barbra Streisand
I only began to sing because I couldn't get a job as an actress.
Barbra Streisand
A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. But a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.
