More quotes by Bette Davis
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
People stood on their chairs, cheering and waving. And it was all for me! Waves of love flooded the stage and washed over me. I started to cry. The sweetness of such a moment is impossible to describe. One is both lover and beloved. ... I'd found the one true, enduring romance of my life.
Bette Davis
If men found out how to give birth to children they'll never propose again.
Bette Davis
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.

Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
I would take a bad script and a good director any day against a good script and a bad director.
Bette Davis
Without discipline and detachment, an actor is an emotional slob, spilling his insides out. This abandonment is having an unfortunate vogue. It is tasteless, formless, absurd. Without containment there is no art. All this vomiting and wheezing and bursting at the seams is no more great acting than the convulsions of raving maniacs.
Bette Davis
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
Bette Davis
Strong women only marry weak men.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
