Melbourne is the kind of town that really makes you consider the question 'Is there life after death?
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.

If someone were to say seriously, I'm divine, she'd have to be locked up. There are lots of people in mental institutions going around saying I'm God. But because I'm funny about it, they haven't locked me up yet. And I don't give myself airs, either.
Bette Midler
I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I'm even sanguine about that.

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

Bette Midler
I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.
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
The [film] business is run by men, and they're basically interested in their own species, and they're not so interested in women belonging to the human race.
Bette Midler
Find your Light They can't love you if they can't see you
Bette Midler
I wish America would spend even half as much time complaining about plastics in our oceans as we do about actresses' plastic surgery.
Bette Midler
I have a ball - and it keeps my heart rate up. I get to wear fabulous clothes. I get to make people laugh. That's my core business, and that's where I'll always return.
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
My parents have not insisted that we go to college, but she wanted us to learn. Teacher, librarian, secretary, nurse. All my siblings were employed. But I wanted to be the boss, an independent contractor.
Bette Midler
Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer.
