Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
Joan Crawford is a movie star. I am an actress.
Bette Davis
Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis
