More quotes by Bette Davis
Home is where you go to when you've nowhere to go.
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
I was thought to be stuck up. I wasn't. i was just sure of myself.
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
I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis
Strong women only marry weak men.
Bette Davis
I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.
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
Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they're phonies.
Bette Davis
Gay Liberation? I ain't against it, it's just that there's nothing in it for me.
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
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis
I've always liked men better than women.
Bette Davis
To look back is to relax one's vigil.
Bette Davis
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
Bette Davis
It has been my experience that one cannot, in any shape or form, depend on human relations for lasting reward. It is only work that truly satisfies.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
Bette Davis
