On her father dying when Barbra was 18 months old: “It’s a black hole, It’s a void that cannot be filled. It is what it is. And who knows if that didn’t make me extra-sensitive to what I need as an actress or a singer or a director. That’s what makes me so sensitive to every little detail — it’s not fun.”

On her mother Diana Kind: ‘I think I made peace with my mother because I understand her now.My book, I will probably dedicate it to my mother. Because without her telling me I would never make it and, you know, I can’t be a movie star and I was odd-looking and whatever, she gave me something to fight for. It was a kind of, ‘I’ll show you, Mom!’ Gave me a force, an energy that I appreciate now.

On the infamous 1991 interview with Mike Wallace: “I hated it. The feeling of, like, what a woman probably feels when she’s date-raped, only not as bad. I mean, that’s worse, of course. And he made me cry, I think asking me about my stepfather. And I don’t cry that easily.” The next week, acknowledging some critical mail, Wallace added: “We also heard from Miss Streisand. She loved it.”

“That, that was the stab,” she said. “He said I loved it when I said I hated it? It was a lie!”
