More quotes by Bette Davis
Pray to God and say the lines.
Bette Davis
Yes, burn your bridges.
Bette Davis
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
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
You know what nostalgia is, don't you? It's basically a matter of recalling the fun without reliving the pain.
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
Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
Bette Davis
[On gay men:] Let me say, a more artistic, appreciative group of people for the arts does not exist ... They are more knowledgeable, more loving of the arts. They make the average male look stupid.
Bette Davis
With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying.
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 don't think in business it matters whether you're a man or a woman if you can do your job and have a brain.
Bette Davis
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
Bette Davis
If men found out how to give birth to children they'll never propose again.
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
I work to stay alive.
Bette Davis
If you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it.
Bette Davis
I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.
Bette Davis
