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.

More quotes by Bette Midler
I never know how much of what I say is true.
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
A lot of people say that my life is wasted on me because I could be a bigger asshole than I am, but I've chosen not to be.
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
For some people, a park is the only place in their entire world where they can see something beautiful.
Bette Midler
I have my standards. They're low, but I have them.
Bette Midler
I decided years ago not to read stories about myself anymore. Each one is a potential minefield: Whatever it says, you're bound to take it the wrong way. Why do it if you know it's going to make you miserable?
Bette Midler
I don't like violence. I get sick from violence. Do you think people are excited by violence?
Bette Midler
It's a different world now: Stars come and go quickly, and there are so many of them. I read a statistic that all the record companies combined used to put out around 3,000 albums in a year. Now they put out something like 30,000!
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 would much rather watch myself than listen to myself. The moving is second nature, but the listening... that's the art.
Bette Midler
Do I understand this right? I'm being marked down?
Bette Midler
I always wanted to be a performer, I didn't know exactly what kind of performer, all I knew was there were certain things that I liked. I liked movies a whole lot, and I loved music.
Bette Midler
All these children [who did not have music and art classes at school] go out into the world without knowing that there is anything other than what they have. Of course, children do look at TV, but what does it give them?
Bette Midler
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
Bette Midler
You can feel compassion for others without feeling victimized yourself.
Bette Midler
I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.
Bette Midler
Without passion, the powers-that-be can run roughshod over you.
Bette Midler
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.
Bette Midler
My mother would only let us go to the musicals.
