Barbra Streisand says when she was starting out both men and women were scared of her ambition and dedication. The 76-year-old actor-director said the fact that she wanted to have full control over her life did not go down well with a lot of people.
"I didn't want to stay in my place. I started out wanting to be an actress and I got to acting through my singing. But then that wasn't enough. I wanted to shape things, I wanted to write. I wanted to direct. I wanted to produce. I wanted to make decisions. And that got me into trouble. A woman in control: that scared men. It scared other women! They weren't ready for it," Streisand told the Guardian.
