Streisand in October 2006 Oprah Magazine

Inside tidbits .......

- Barbra's thinking of singing a Billie Holiday song "out of respect" in concert.

- Barbra listened to some of her old songs to prepare for the concert and thought, "This girl's good." She listened to SINCE I FELL FOR YOU, KIND OF MAN A WOMAN NEEDS, "which I may try to sing again."

- Good quote: "I've worked so little, which is why the idea of retirement is ridiculous."

- She clarifies where the monies earned from this tour will be going.

Another great quote ... in regards to being called a "diva", Barbra told Oprah:

"I find the myth of the 'diva' is much bigger than me. If you look at the ad for my concert, the shadow is much bigger than the person."

- Last quote of the piece: "On tour I want to be in the moment and really appreciate the love that's given me. During my last tour, when I kicked off my shoes and said whatever I wanted, I actually enjoyed myself. Performing is not about perfection. I could never perform live if it were. For me, it's about raising money to do good in the world. It's about self-acceptance. It's about believing that I am enough."

The magazine, which includes an interview with Barbra, will be on newstands on September 19th.
