Bette Midler On Why She Left Movies: “(There’s) the sturm und drang, the angst of pulling these movies out of your kishkas I mean, (there’s) development for 15 years, and then you have to wait for the 25-year-old (studio exec) to give you the green light. I mean, forget it! Life is too short. I’ll tell you what: When they learn to make movies, I’ll be back.” (Chicago Sun-Times, July 25, 2000)
