Previously, the jokes were more related to current issues, political. Today people make about each other either funny or about people like Kim Kardashian. It's brutal. Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
Bette Midler

Bette Midler
I've always been lucky enough to have great audiences. It has been quite a life.
Bette Midler
I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I'm even sanguine about that.
Bette Midler
I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.
