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
Image
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.

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.

[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.

[On Helen Reddy:] She ought to be arrested for loitering in front of an orchestra.

For days on end, I would hardly speak, and when I did only the vilest sort of gibberish would spout forth. I became morose and fat. Unapproachable, except when eating - and then only by waiters.

Total contentment is only for cows.

Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.

Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world.

I'm mad about God! That's why I'm divine.

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.

There's a kind of emotional exploration you plumb with a friend that you don't really do with your family.

Image is everything, and the voice or the idea or the song is hardly anything at all. Half the time the person isn't even doing the singing. I'm a bit cynical about this [music] business.

Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.

I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.
Bette Midler
Image
Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.

My mother would only let us go to the musicals.

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.

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.

I would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
