Bette Midler, who stars in the upcoming remake of “The Stepford Wives,” is content with the simple things in life — so content that she may be quitting show business soon.

“I love things people take for granted: food, flowers, being in a room with fun people — that’s the stuff I love,” the actress-singer told Scripps Howard News Service. “The rest of it’s kind of a grind, I gotta say.

“I’m supposed to retire shortly. I don’t want to fall off the stage and have people say, ‘She waited too long.’ “
