And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have.

I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.

Every 36 seconds in America a woman lays her body down forced to choose abortion out of a lack of practical resources and emotional support. Abortion is a reflection that society has failed women.

I have always believed that when you're feeling sorry for yourself, the best thing to do is help someone else.

A woman experiencing an unplanned pregnancy also deserves to experience unplanned joy.

I felt totally released from the need to make it as an actress. I had experienced complete fulfillment in something that had nothing to do with me being in the spotlight.

On a personal level, as a Christian, it will not be Barbra Streisand I'm standing in front of when I have to make an accounting of my life.

Anytime anybody is rude, it makes me double-check my own behavior to make sure I don't do that to other people.

In reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice.

As a child, I would put on shows in my neighborhood with friends and perform Barbra Streisand songs for my classmates.

It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden.

In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.

It feels wonderful when you fly with hopes and dreams.

I wouldn't say I'm happy, but I look at things in a soft way. I try to convey more personal interaction, rather than huge injustices.

Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives.

We have become indifferent to content, and react, not even to form, but to technique, to technical efficiency itself.

So long as nuclear weapons continue to exist, so will the temptation to threaten others with overwhelming military force.

I don't know what you can possibly do for less than $50 to have somebody come in your house.

I never cared about money.

Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating.

...one cannot actively help a woman to give birth. The goal is to avoid disturbing her unnecsessarily.
