Need help? That's what he wanted me to do, sing the song 10 times - because every time I sing any song, I do it differently. Some of these songs that I record now, the first time I'm singing them is in the recording booth. She thrives on the spontaneity. Even when, for technical reasons, she has to re-record a vocal, she tries to approach it from a different perspective.
It's an approach she brings to her movie roles, too. That comes from the heart and I always like to look back at what was lost in the next draft. She hasn't starred in a film since 's Guilt Trip, and her last directorial outing was on the romantic comedy, The Mirror Has Two Faces.
But it's not for lack of effort. For the last 10 years, Streisand has been trying to make a film about the love affair between pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White and author Erskine Caldwell.
Announcements have come and gone, but the project is currently stuck in limbo. Streisand says one solution might be to bring the project to England, where she had a magical experience making Yentl in When I came in the morning, all my sparks [electricians] had their Finnan Haddie [Smoked Haddock] in a pot, and I would sit with them and eat it because I loved it.

The book in question is her long-gestating memoir, which still has no official publication date. It's almost finished now. With an album of archival recordings and a book about her life story on the way, the star seems to be taking stock of her life's work.
Does she think often about her legacy? I have to plan on what universities are going to get my proceeds. And we're still fighting climate change. She feels the same about movies, an area where her inroads as writer, director and producer are often overlooked. But no green lights. Some of them shock me.
You know what I mean? But they want me to write an epilogue. Can you imagine? Been there done that, you know. But it is interesting to look at something now from this distance. And realise certain things that I might not have realised at the time it was happening. A long-time abstainer from her own press, she reveals at last that she was pleasantly surprised when her assistant started digging up old articles to jog her memory.
