“I just don't want to be hampered by my own limitations.” — Barbra Streisand

I wish I could be like Shaw who once read a bad review of one of his plays, called the critic and said: 'I have your review in front of me and soon it will be behind me.'

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

Around people I don't know, I'm totally at a loss.

What does it mean when people applaud? Should I give 'em money? Say thank you? Lift my dress? The lack of applause - that I can respond to.
