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.

Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.
Bette Midler
The inventor of the modern foundation garment that we women wear today was a German scientist and opera lover by the name of Otto Titsling.
Bette Midler
I want to have fun, and I want to give people a good laugh.
Bette Midler
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
If you're frightened, you're out of luck.
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
There's the media-driven universe, in which the public perceives you in a superficial way. Then there's the universe that you actually inhabit, where you have to get up even if you didn't sleep so well, and you feel like crap and your face is swollen.
Bette Midler
Me, I'm just a hack. I'm just a schlep-per. I just do what I can do.
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
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
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
I'm so glad to be back in New York. Los Angeles can be so cold, so cruel after you've been-what's the word?-oh yes: 'fired.'
Bette Midler
If somebody makes me laugh, I’m his slave for life.
Bette Midler
My idea of superwoman is someone who scrubs her own floors.
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
Let the sun stop burning, Let them tell me love's not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart, The only dream that mattered had come true ...In this life I was loved by you.
Bette Midler
Honey, I can smell the scent of another woman from 500 paces.
Bette Midler
People are not the best because they work hard. They work hard because they are the best.
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.
