Joan Crawford is a movie star. I am an actress.
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
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
Bette Davis
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
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
The world's all full of thoughts about wars and space, and tragedies to the world. That's what writers are thinking about because that's what the world is thinking about.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
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
Old age ain't for sissies
Bette Davis
Strong women only marry weak men.
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
Evil people you never forget them. And that's the aim of any actress-never to be forgotten.
Bette Davis
Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
Bette Davis
Everybody has a heart. Except some people.
Bette Davis
