“I’m probably the last of the entertainers. I’m the last one who sings and dances and tells jokes all in one show. So I shouldn’t crab. It’s what I chose to do and it’s what I enjoy doing. Everyone looks at me as a different kind of artist. I never really codified it; I never really said what it was, because I never really knew what it was. It was just me; I’m here all by myself.” (Rocky Mountain News, 1999) – Bette Midler Image may contain: 1 person, smiling, indoor
