Barbra Streisand Want Quotations

I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.

I'm sure that I don't know everything I want to know. I have so much more to learn.

I want the best product for my audience, and if I don't care 100%, who will? It's my name, my likeness that goes out there.

If a man wants to get it right, he's looked up to and respected. If a woman wants to get it right, she's difficult or impossible. If he acts, produces and directs, he's called multitalented. If she does the same thing, she's called vain and egotistical.

Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?

I can say, I am terribly frightened and fear is terrible and awful and it makes me uncomfortable, so I won't do that because it makes me uncomfortable. Or I could say get used to being uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable doing something that's risky. But so what? Do you want to stagnate and just be comfortable?

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?
