More quotes by Bette Midler
If only I'd known my differentness would be an asset, then my earlier life would have been much easier.
Bette Midler
Me, I'm just a hack. I'm just a schlep-per. I just do what I can do.
Bette Midler
You can't just have a clean public space - you also have to have people willing to use it, and something that will draw them in.
Bette Midler
Do I understand this right? I'm being marked down?
Bette Midler
If sex is such a natural phenomenon, how come there are so many books on how to do it?
Bette Midler
That's why I'm concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds. Education is my next big thing. When music and art were taken out of the schools, I went berserk!
Bette Midler
I've always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.
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
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
Bette Midler
I always try to balance the light with the heavy - a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.
Bette Midler
Sold my soul. Bought these devil chains.
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
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 made a pact with myself a long time ago: Never watch anything stupider than you. It's helped me a lot.
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
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 bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.
Bette Midler
The [film] business is run by men, and they're basically interested in their own species, and they're not so interested in women belonging to the human race.
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
I come from an overly confident place. But I'm overconfident because of feelings of inferiority.
