“To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed.”

Barbra Streisand (1942) American singer, actress, writer, film producer, and director

Playboy interview (1977), as quoted in No Glass Slipper : Surviving and Conquering Painful Life Experiences (2006), p. 32
Context: To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do —  bad or good.
