Barbra Streisand

“I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.”

“I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good.”

“I got sent to a health camp when I was about 6 years old, and we all had to wear the same starchy blue uniform. The lady who took care of me after school knit me a burgundy sweater. It was the only thing that gave me any individuality.”

“Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.”

“Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?”

“Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?”

“I go by instinct - I don't worry about experience.”
