When you have a steady job you're more inspired to broaden yourself.
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.

Most people don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Chaplin or Lucille Ball.

Do I understand this right? I'm being marked down?
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.
