More quotes by Barbra Streisand
As a young woman, I wanted nothing more than to see my name in lights.
Barbra Streisand
Moviemakers can be late to a subject, or afraid, but often they are brave and ahead of their time.
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
It's not a date. We're just agreeing to eat at the same table.
Barbra Streisand
I'm not that ambitious any more. I just like my privacy. I wish I really wasn't talked about at all.
Barbra Streisand
A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself.
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
Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places it becomes light in dark places.
Barbra Streisand
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
Barbra Streisand
I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.
Barbra Streisand
Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.
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
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
The audience is the barometer of the truth.
Barbra Streisand
When I sing, people shut up.
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 don't care what you say about me. Just be sure to spell my name wrong.
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
It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.
Barbra Streisand
I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.
Barbra Streisand
