I'm a work in progress.
From Barbra Streisand
My mother never really thought I could become anything.
When I sing, people shut up.
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.
When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.
If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
When I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, the neighborhood girls would sit on the stoop and sing. I was known as the kid who had a good voice and no father.
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.
Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.
My mother had a great voice. Not like mine, not like my sister's, not like my son's - a high soprano voice, but like a bird. I mean, really beautiful.
