Bette Midler On The Eclectic Style Of Her Albums: “That’s the way I work. I’m a brain picker. I pick people’s brains to get the best out of them. Everyone has a different perspective and I like to take advantage of that. My interests are also very wide. I’d use the work ‘scattered’ but that has a negative connotation. It implies I don’t know what I’m doing but there’s a method to my madness. ” (Evening Star, March 11, 1976)
