More quotes by Bette Midler
All these children [who did not have music and art classes at school] go out into the world without knowing that there is anything other than what they have. Of course, children do look at TV, but what does it give them?
Bette Midler
[On Helen Reddy:] She ought to be arrested for loitering in front of an orchestra.

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
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
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
For some people, a park is the only place in their entire world where they can see something beautiful.
Bette Midler
I try not to drink too much because when I'm drunk, I bite.
Bette Midler
