More quotes by Bette Midler

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

Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
Bette Midler
I come from an overly confident place. But I'm overconfident because of feelings of inferiority.
Bette Midler

Bette Midler
Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world. That's why I'm concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds.
Bette Midler
If they [at the audition] don't like the way you sound they won't buy you anyway, ripped dress or no ripped dress, ass hanging out or no ass hanging out.
Bette Midler
Melbourne is the kind of town that really makes you consider the question 'Is there life after death?
Bette Midler
When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, you leave your ashes to be composted.
Bette Midler
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.
Bette Midler
I love nature, in spite of what it did to me.
Bette Midler
When my daughter was younger we showed her all the great musicals. And the great dramas and great comedies, and the one that she took to the most was Some Like It Hot.
Bette Midler
When I finally did stop and look at my life, I realized that I had done what I'd set out to do. In my pitiful little way, I had climbed the mountain I had chosen. And there I was, on top.
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!
