"Fame is a hollow trophy. No matter who you are, you can only eat one pastrami sandwich at a time."

-Barbra Streisand, My Name Is Barbra

"Once again I was struck by the power of music. Somehow, it can be the connective tissue between souls."

-Barbra Streisand, My Name Is Barbra

"There are some things I hope we can all agree upon: The antidote to lies is truth, the remedy to war is peace, and the solution to hate is love."

-Barbra Streisand, My Name Is Barbra

"Language gives us an insight into the way women are viewed in a male-dominated society . . . A man is commanding—a woman is demanding. A man is forceful—a woman is pushy. A man is uncompromising—a woman is a ball-breaker. A man is a perfectionist—a woman’s a pain in the ass. He’s assertive—she’s aggressive. He strategizes—she manipulates. He shows leadership—she’s controlling. He’s committed—she’s obsessed. He’s persevering—she’s relentless. He sticks to his guns—she’s stubborn. 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 and impossible. If he acts, produces, and directs, he’s called multitalented. If she does the same thing, she’s called vain and egotistical."
