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.

Interesting Over Trust You

Blue School Years
I think when I was younger, I wanted to be a star, until I became a star, and then it’s a lot of work. It’s work to be a star. I don’t enjoy the stardom part. I only enjoy the creative process.

I was raised on the streets, in hot, steamy Brooklyn, with stifled air.

The dream – you never achieve it. The excitement of life lies in the hope, in the striving for something rather than the attainment.
BARBRA STREISAND

Dream Hope Lying
My biggest nightmare is I’m driving home and get sick and go to hospital. I say: ‘Please help me.’ And the people say: ‘Hey, you look like…’ And I’m dying while they’re wondering whether I’m Barbra Streisand.

BARBRA STREISAND

Exercise Hype Ties
