More quotes by Bette Davis
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
Bette Davis
I survived because I was tougher than anybody else.
Bette Davis
I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.
Bette Davis
If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
Bette Davis
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
Bette Davis
I don't think of myself as a character actress - that's become a phrase which means you've had it.
Bette Davis
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
Bette Davis
One begins to realize that one is getting old when the birthday candles weigh more than the cake.
Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis
Yes, burn your bridges.
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'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.
Bette Davis
Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
The real actor - like any real artistj- has a direct line to the collective heart.
Bette Davis
I went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.
Bette Davis
The world's all full of thoughts about wars and space, and tragedies to the world. That's what writers are thinking about because that's what the world is thinking about.
Bette Davis
I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.
Bette Davis
I didn't forget your breakfast. I didn't bring your breakfast. Because you didn't eat your din-din.
Bette Davis
Pray to God and say the lines.
Bette Davis
