More quotes by Bette Davis

Bette Davis
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
Bette Davis
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
Bette Davis
You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good.
Bette Davis
Evil people you never forget them. And that's the aim of any actress-never to be forgotten.
Bette Davis
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
