Quote

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.

Sold my soul. Bought these devil chains.

I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.

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!

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.

Me, I'm just a hack. I'm just a schlep-per. I just do what I can do.

My mother would only let us go to the musicals.
Bette Midler
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
Image
I'm looking for something that gives me a chance to stretch. Because I have my own work, and I can do anything I want in my own work - juggle, tap dance, anything I want.
Bette Midler
Image
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 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.
