More quotes by Bette Midler
When I started in this [music] business, I had a dream, but it was amorphous, and I had no experience. I just had a fuzzy notion of what life would be like if I became what I pictured.
Bette Midler
I'd make a wonderful Lady Macbeth. I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something.
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
When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, you leave your ashes to be composted.
Bette Midler
My whole life had been spent waiting for an epiphany, a manifestation of God's presence, the kind of transcendent, magical experience that lets you see your place in the big picture. And that is what I had with my first [compost] heap.
Bette Midler
If you're frightened, you're out of luck.
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
I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
Bette Midler
If they [at the audition] don't like the way you sound they won't buy you anyway, ripped dress or no ripped dress, ass hanging out or no ass hanging out.
Bette Midler
I've forbidden my daughter to have grandchildren, I'm too young.
Bette Midler
Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.
Bette Midler
When you have a steady job you're more inspired to broaden yourself.
Bette Midler
I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.
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
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
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
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 read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.
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 do look upon all of life as an episode - which is why the people around me are probably on guard!
Bette Midler
