Bette Midler: “The music business is so treacherous and crowded. There’s people who can barely sing, but that doesn’t stop them. I was listening to one today ”“ who shall remain nameless ”“ and I thought, ”˜how does she have the balls to open her mouth?’ It defies belief. I know I sound ancient, but who gives a s**t? Now I’m old, I can say anything I damn well please.” (2015)
