More quotes by Bette Davis
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
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
It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
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
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
Bette Davis
If you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it.
Bette Davis
Old age is no place for sissies.
Bette Davis
Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they're too perplexed about the whole female situation probably.
Bette Davis
I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
I work to stay alive.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis
I would take a bad script and a good director any day against a good script and a bad director.
Bette Davis
You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good.
Bette Davis
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
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
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
