Barbra Streisand's Quotes
- Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.
- The audience is the barometer of the truth.
- I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.
- I hate tooting my own horn, but after Steven Spielberg saw Yentl (1983), he said, "I wish I could tell you how to fix your picture, but I can't. It's the best film I've seen since Citizen Kane (1941)".
- One thing's for sure: now when I look at Funny Girl (1968), I think I was gorgeous. I was too beautiful to play Fanny Brice.
