More quotes by Bette Midler
From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight. From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man
Bette Midler
Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.
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
Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.

People put barriers up in your path, and one of those barriers is age. They tell you, You're too old. You don't photograph so well anymore. I know I don't photograph so well anymore, so what can I do? I can do something different, where it doesn't matter as much how I look.

I don't like violence. I get sick from violence. Do you think people are excited by violence?
Bette Midler
Group conformity scares the pants off me because it's so often a prelude to cruelty towards anyone who doesn't want to - or can't - join the Big Parade.
Bette Midler
I had no idea of being a star, all I knew was that I wanted to be a great actress, I wanted to work as an actress. So I thought the way I would be a great actress was to sing and dance first. Lay a foundation - get my foot in the door, and then undoubtedly, of course, I would be offered great roles as soon as I grew up enough to handle them.
Bette Midler
Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.
Bette Midler
I never know how much of what I say is true.
Bette Midler
When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.
Bette Midler
I love nature, in spite of what it did to me.
Bette Midler
I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
Bette Midler
Total contentment is only for cows.
Bette Midler
I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I'm even sanguine about that.
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!
Bette Midler
I always wanted to be a performer, I didn't know exactly what kind of performer, all I knew was there were certain things that I liked. I liked movies a whole lot, and I loved music.
