More quotes by Bette Midler
Everyone goes through their winters and springs, and their summers and autumns.
Bette Midler
People are not the best because they work hard. They work hard because they are the best.
Bette Midler
It's the Point of Your View that Decides What You See - / One Man's Flop Is Another Man's Hit. / From Manners to Movies, the Picture Keeps Changing / Depending Upon Where You Sit.
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
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.
Bette Midler
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance.
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
I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed. Previously, the jokes were more related to current issues, political. Today people make about each other either funny or about people like Kim Kardashian. It's brutal. Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
Bette Midler
Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it's like a jackhammer.
Bette Midler
We're all divine, but I was the only one who had the nerve to call myself that.
Bette Midler
I try not to drink too much because when I'm drunk, I bite.
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
My mother would only let us go to the musicals.
Bette Midler
Do I understand this right? I'm being marked down?
Bette Midler
If only I'd known my differentness would be an asset, then my earlier life would have been much easier.
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 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
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
I come from an overly confident place. But I'm overconfident because of feelings of inferiority.
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.
