More quotes by 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.

If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.
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
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
I don't think of myself as a character actress - that's become a phrase which means you've had it.
Bette Davis
Pray to God and say the lines.
Bette Davis
Your luck is how you treat people.
Bette Davis
Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.
