More quotes by 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
I fear for the future of the planet. But in a funny way, I'm even sanguine about that.

Bette Midler
If only I'd known my differentness would be an asset, then my earlier life would have been much easier.
Bette Midler
When it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil, you leave your ashes to be composted.
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
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
If you can accept your differentness and learn to love it and encourage it, then you can be someone wonderful.
Bette Midler
Without passion, the powers-that-be can run roughshod over you.

Total contentment is only for cows.
