More quotes by Bette Davis
If you want a thing done well, get a couple of old broads to do it.
Bette Davis
Playing our parts. Yes, we all have to do that and from childhood on, I have found that my own character has been much harder to play worthily and far harder at times to comprehend than any of the roles I have portrayed.
Bette Davis
I often think that a slightly exposed shoulder emerging from a long satin nightgown packs more sex than two naked bodies in bed.
Bette Davis
Evil people you never forget them. And that's the aim of any actress-never to be forgotten.
Bette Davis
Old age ain't for sissies
Bette Davis
Yes, burn your bridges.
Bette Davis
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
Bette Davis
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
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
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
Bette Davis
I am a woman meant for a man, but I never found a man who could compete.
Bette Davis
You should know me well enough by now to know I don't ask for things I don't think I can get.
Bette Davis
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
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
I've lost my faith in science.
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
With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying.
Bette Davis
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
Bette Davis
Sex is God's joke on human beings.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
