More quotes by Bette Midler
Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
I come from an overly confident place. But I'm overconfident because of feelings of inferiority.
Bette Midler
I don't like violence. I get sick from violence. Do you think people are excited by violence?
Bette Midler
I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I'm even sanguine about that.
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
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
If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.
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
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'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
We're all divine, but I was the only one who had the nerve to call myself that.
Bette Midler
I'm so glad to be back in New York. Los Angeles can be so cold, so cruel after you've been-what's the word?-oh yes: 'fired.'
Bette Midler
Make sure your life is a rare entertainment! It doesn't take anything drastic. You needn't be gorgeous or wealthy or smart, just very enthusiastic!
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
Find your Light They can't love you if they can't see you
Bette Midler
The worst part of success is to try to find someone who is happy for you.
Bette Midler
I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed. 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
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
Bette Midler
Most people don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.
Bette Midler
I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
