[00:03:35] Barbra: Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this [00:03:35] Producer 1: Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one. [00:03:35] Producer 2: No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure. [00:03:35] Producer 3: He's right! [00:03:35] Producer 1: Sweetheart, it's just not commercial! [00:03:35] Barbra: What is commercial? [00:03:35] Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays. [00:03:35] Producer 1: I mean - personally, I love it, but [00:03:35] Barbra (sung):Be nice, girl! [00:03:35] Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material. [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price, girl! [00:03:35] Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push. [00:03:35] Barbra (sung):They like to give advice, girl! [00:03:35] Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky. [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice, girl! [00:03:35] Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing! [00:03:35] Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work! [00:03:35] Barbra(spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it? [00:03:35] Producer 3: This is like your old stuff! [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy. [00:03:35] Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids. [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot. [00:03:35] Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway? [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy. [00:03:35] Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this. [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Financing it is not! [00:03:35] Producer 2: Why take chances? [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head! [00:03:35] Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead! [00:03:35] Producer 2: You have to think about you career! [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): It has to come to life! [00:03:35] Barbra (sung): Bit by bit, putting it together [00:03:35] Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art [00:03:35] Every moment makes a contribution [00:03:35] Every little detail plays a parts [00:03:35] Having just a vision's no solution [00:03:35] Everything depends on execution [00:03:35] Putting it together, that's what counts! [00:03:35] Ounce by ounce, putting in together [00:03:35] Small amounts, adding up to make a work of art [00:03:35] First of all you need a good foundation [00:03:35] Otherwise it's risky from the start [00:03:35] Takes a little cocktail conversation [00:03:35] But without the proper preparation [00:03:35] Having just a vision's no solution [00:03:35] Everything depends on execution [00:03:35] The art of making art [00:03:35] Is putting it together, bit by bit [00:03:35] Producer 2: Do we really need all these musicians? [00:03:35] Barbra: Link by link, making the connections, yes we do! [00:03:35] Drink by drink, taking every comment as it comes [00:03:35] Learning how to play the politician [00:03:35] Like you play piano, bass and drums [00:03:35] Otherwise you'll find your composition [00:03:35] Isn't gonna get much exhibition [00:03:35] Art isn't easy [00:03:35] Every minor detail is a major decision [00:03:35] Have to keep things in scale [00:03:35] Have to hold to your vision [00:03:35] Producer 1: Why don't we talk about this over dinner, darling? [00:03:35] What's a little cocktail conversation [00:03:35] If it gets the funds for your foundation [00:03:35] Every time I start to feel defensive [00:03:35] I remember vinyl is expensive! [00:03:35] Producer 3: Would you agree to do an interview? [00:03:35] Barbra: Maybe one! [00:03:35] Dot by dot, building up the image [00:03:35] Shot by shot, keeping at a distance doesn't pay [00:03:35] Still if you remember your objective [00:03:35] Not give all your privacy away [00:03:35] A little bit of hype can be effective [00:03:35] As long as you can keep it in perspective [00:03:35] Even when you get some recognition [00:03:35] Everything you do you still audition [00:03:35] Art isn't easy [00:03:35] Overnight you're a trend [00:03:35] You're the right combination [00:03:35] Then the trend's at an end
