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 you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it.
Bette Davis
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
Bette Davis
A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.
