I love Barbra Streisand. Anybody who knows me knows I just love her, love her, love her!

Barbra Streisand has always been an inspiration for me. I admire Jennifer Lopez because she's been against all the odds, and she's made such a name for herself, and she can put her name on anything and it sells, and I admire that about her, but Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen are my favorites.

Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.

I love Barbra Streisand and Sade who've both had careers in soul and I want my music to have that timeless quality that isn't necessarily now.

If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn't good.

Growing up, my ideals were Barbra Streisand, Cher, and my mom.
