More quotes by Bette Midler
Here I am, one of the most colorful women of my time - if not of my block - being made to sound positively legumelike in printed interviews.
Bette Midler
We're all divine, but I was the only one who had the nerve to call myself that.
Bette Midler
I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought, Maybe I'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing. But then I thought, I probably will never please this person. I should just do what pleases me.
Bette Midler
I'm looking for something that gives me a chance to stretch. Because I have my own work, and I can do anything I want in my own work - juggle, tap dance, anything I want.
Bette Midler
Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
I've always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.

GOD is watching us, from a Distance.
Bette Midler
Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.
Bette Midler

Bette Midler
A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.
Bette Midler
I made a pact with myself a long time ago: Never watch anything stupider than you. It's helped me a lot.
Bette Midler
Twenty-seven people sang 'Wind Beneath My Wings' before I got around to it. A lot of people saw the movie that I sang it in, Beaches, and what they came away with was that song. They turned to their loved ones and said, 'You know, you are the wind beneath my wings!' The song expressed how they felt in a way a simple 'I love you' would not have.
Bette Midler
When my daughter was younger we showed her all the great musicals. And the great dramas and great comedies, and the one that she took to the most was Some Like It Hot.
Bette Midler
My idea of superwoman is someone who scrubs her own floors.
Bette Midler
If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many books on how to do it?
Bette Midler
It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.
Bette Midler
[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.
Bette Midler
before one actually visits them, everyone tends to think of their favorite countries as one grand Disneyland filled with national monuments and historical treasures conveniently laid out for easy viewing, when what they really are filled with, of course, is people going to work, laundromats and places to buy rat poison.
Bette Midler
It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you're playing somebody's mother - and there aren't even a lot of those roles!
