I've always said we got married because there was nothing on TV.
Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a razor that leaves your soul to bleed.
Bette Midler
It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.
Bette Midler
Men's brains are smaller than those of women so they can fit into their penises.
Bette Midler
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
If you're frightened, you're out of luck.
Bette Midler
The worst part of success is to try to find someone who is happy for you.

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
A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.
Bette Midler

Bette Midler

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
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
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
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
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.
Bette Midler
Humor disarms people. They don't feel threatened.
Bette Midler
I'm the last of the truly tacky women. I do trash with flash and sleaze with ease.
