Bette Midler On Making The Rose: “There are things I could have done better in the film, but it is what it is. I used to be terribly dissatisfied with my records and hate my producers. I’m determined not to do this with films. I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I know what I’m feeling now is fleeting. I know bad times are going to come and pass. And I know that happiness comes again, too. Right at this minute, I’m happy and satisfied.” (The Milwaukee Journal Dec 2, 1979) – Bette Midler
