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.

Group conformity scares the pants off me because it's so often a prelude to cruelty towards anyone who doesn't want to - or can't - join the Big Parade.
Bette Midler
I want to have fun, and I want to give people a good laugh.
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.

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!
