(On why she won’t talk about Madonna) “I can’t talk about Madonna. I have nothing to say about Madonna. I have no opinion about Madonna. I certainly couldn’t put her in the vast cosmic picture. Because I don’t want to get in the middle of that. I can’t say anything without sounding like a jerk. You can’t talk the truth, and I don’t want to lie. My views are my own, I don’t want to slander the girl. She works hard. It’s nobody’s business what I think of Madonna. I have no feelings about her one way or another.” (1991, Movieline) – Bette Midler
