Barbra Streisand

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.

I have one son. Of everything I’ve done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.

Why don’t you have a cup of coffee at least? I, um, I’m a little low in sugar and I don’t have any cream, but it’s real coffee.

Coffee Cream Littles Real
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work… a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.

Badass Passion Women Work
We cannot let the right wing roll back more than thirty years of social progress.
BARBRA STREISAND

Progress Wings Years
I wasn’t supported, I wasn’t given any self-esteem.
BARBRA STREISAND

Given Self Self Esteem
I wish I could be like Shaw who once read a bad review of one of his plays, called the critic and said: ‘I have your review in front of me and soon it will be behind me.’
