More quotes by Bette Davis
Joan Crawford is a movie star. I am an actress.
Bette Davis
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
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 survived because I was tougher than anybody else.
Bette Davis
At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
Bette Davis
Evil people you never forget them. And that's the aim of any actress-never to be forgotten.
Bette Davis
There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.
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
Technicolor makes me look like death warmed over.
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
Sex is God's joke on human beings.
Bette Davis
I am a woman meant for a man, but I never found a man who could compete.
Bette Davis
It is my last wish to be burried sitting up.
Bette Davis
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
Bette Davis
In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star.
Bette Davis
I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.
Bette Davis
Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
Bette Davis
Once the love bug wears off, as it inevitably does, you are shocked to discover that you really didn't know the object of your affections at all. We know this to be so, even as we repeat the same mistake over and over and over.
Bette Davis
I believe one should be a woman at home.
Bette Davis
