I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought, Maybe I'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing. But then I thought, I probably will never please this person. I should just do what pleases me.

You can't just have a clean public space - you also have to have people willing to use it, and something that will draw them in.
Bette Midler
It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.
Bette Midler
The inventor of the modern foundation garment that we women wear today was a German scientist and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling.
Bette Midler
