Sometimes you have to make your own opportunities, and that's why I'm on TV. I wasn't going to sit around anymore, waiting for the damn phone to ring. I had to create my own place - I've always done that.

More quotes by Bette Midler
Sold my soul. Bought these devil chains.
Bette Midler
Me, I'm just a hack. I'm just a schlep-per. I just do what I can do.
Bette Midler
I've always been lucky enough to have great audiences. It has been quite a life.
Bette Midler
[On Helen Reddy:] She ought to be arrested for loitering in front of an orchestra.

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
I never know how much of what I say is true.
Bette Midler
Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.
Bette Midler
The worst part of success is to try to find someone who is happy for you.

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
I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.
Bette Midler
When you have a steady job you're more inspired to broaden yourself.
Bette Midler
From the age of 14 until I was 50, I just got on a treadmill and ran. I never stopped to assess what I was doing or to pat myself on the back.
Bette Midler
From a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow-capped mountains white. From a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight. From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man
Bette Midler
I've always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.
Bette Midler
Honey, I can smell the scent of another woman from 500 paces.
Bette Midler
Marriage is such hard work. And it's full of rage and real human drama.
Bette Midler
Most people don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.
Bette Midler
I want to have fun, and I want to give people a good laugh.
Bette Midler
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.
Bette Midler
If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.
