More quotes by Bette Davis

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 was thought to be stuck up. I wasn't. i was just sure of myself.
Bette Davis
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis
She's the original good time who was had by all.
Bette Davis
I would take a bad script and a good director any day against a good script and a bad director.
