Barbra Streisand quotes about
I am a nice person. I care about my driver having lunch, you know ...
I don't feel like a legend. I feel like a work in progress.
When I was a teenager in New York, I was buying antique clothes. I still am.
I'm a work in progress.
Art does not exist only to entertain, but also to challenge one to think, to provoke, even to disturb, in a constant search for truth.
It always gave me the creeps when I saw performers who desperately wanted the audience to like them. That's not what I'm about.
I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.
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.
There's a part of you that always remains a child, no matter how mature you get, how sophisticated or weary.
Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?
When I sing, people shut up.
I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.
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
You have to live life in the moment and get the most out of it.
