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

Ambitious Doing Kind Nothing
I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn’t like me at all.

I can take any truth; just don’t lie to me.
BARBRA STREISAND

Lying Take Truth
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

Interesting Over Trust You
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people’s views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it’s also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do – bad or good.

Believe Mean Strength
Moviemakers can be late to a subject, or afraid, but often they are brave and ahead of their time.
BARBRA STREISAND

Brave Late Subjects
I’m sure that I don’t know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.
BARBRA STREISAND

Everything Know Learn Sure Want

On a very basic level, many people think celebrities have too much already, so we shouldn’t be entitled to our political opinions.

You don’t ask a man, ‘Do you want to be in control [of your job]?’ You assume he wants control. Why would a woman be any different?
BARBRA STREISAND

Different Jobs Men
Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?
BARBRA STREISAND

I just became a singer, because I could never get work as an actress.

I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.
