Personal quotes
“I try not to drink too much, because when I’m drunk, I bite.”

On Acting: “You have to think you’re the greatest thing since sliced bread, but know you’re not.”

During a concert in Brisbane, Australia 2005 – “It’s been 26 years since I was last here. Before my fans were all taking drugs and this time they’re all taking medication!”

The worst part of success is to try finding someone who is happy for you.

I always try to balance the light with the heavy – a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.

I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.

A story about Bette Midler

by WildfireNtampa — 2 years ago

I have been a Bette Midler Fan since I was 5 years old. I am now 32 and I have only written her one time in my life and talked to her about what I admire about her and how she inspires many women in todays world with her music, humanitarian work, ability to help less fortunate people, and her acting. She sent me a letter and an Autographed photo. I keep that safe. I adore the movie Beaches. I loved that movie. I would love to meet her in person it would be the end of my long desired list of people in my life that I want to talk to face to face.
