More quotes by Bette Midler
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
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
Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own - and I realized that there was another world.
Bette Midler
Find your Light They can't love you if they can't see you
Bette Midler
If you're frightened, you're out of luck.
Bette Midler
I've always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.
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
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
If somebody makes me laugh, I’m his slave for life.
Bette Midler
Here I am, one of the most colorful women of my time - if not of my block - being made to sound positively legumelike in printed interviews.
Bette Midler
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.
Bette Midler
I never know how much of what I say is true.
Bette Midler
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
When the movies first started, audiences were dumbstruck to see actresses walking around in evening gowns. They'd never seen anything like that. They wanted to be like those actors and actresses, so the movies informed their behavior. A lot of people started drinking martinis and smoking cigarettes because they felt it was cool.
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
Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.
Bette Midler
I read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.
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
Total contentment is only for cows.
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!
