I read a comment that made me think I should stop singing for a while. And I didn't want to stop singing, because it was the only thing I loved. At first I thought, "Maybe I'll get better and eventually please the person who wrote about my singing." But then I thought, "I probably will never please this person. I should just do what pleases me."

Bette MidlerI wish America would spend even half as much time complaining about plastics in our oceans as we do about actresses' plastic surgery.
