More quotes by Bette Midler
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
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
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
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
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.
Bette Midler
There's the media-driven universe, in which the public perceives you in a superficial way. Then there's the universe that you actually inhabit, where you have to get up even if you didn't sleep so well, and you feel like crap and your face is swollen.
Bette Midler
I've forbidden my daughter to have grandchildren, I'm too young.
Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Bette Midler
I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.
Bette Midler
We're all divine, but I was the only one who had the nerve to call myself that.
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
Let the sun stop burning, Let them tell me love's not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart, The only dream that mattered had come true ...In this life I was loved by you.
Bette Midler
If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.
Bette Midler
When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.
Bette Midler
I come from an overly confident place. But I'm overconfident because of feelings of inferiority.
Bette Midler
Most people don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.
Bette Midler
It's a different world now: Stars come and go quickly, and there are so many of them. I read a statistic that all the record companies combined used to put out around 3,000 albums in a year. Now they put out something like 30,000!
Bette Midler
A lot of people say that my life is wasted on me because I could be a bigger asshole than I am, but I've chosen not to be.
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 have my standards. They're low, but I have them.
Bette Midler
