Bette Davis
As a female I think it's a terrible hindrance in business. I think it's a terrible hindrance for any female to have a lot of intelligence in private life, but I think in business sometimes it's even worse because there's deep resentment.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
Bette Davis
I was thought to be stuck up. I wasn't. i was just sure of myself.
Bette Davis
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
Bette Davis
