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
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
As a female I think it's a terrible hindrance in business. I think it's a terrible hindrance for any female to have a lot of intelligence in private life, but I think in business sometimes it's even worse because there's deep resentment.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
