More quotes by 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
Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child.He needs guidance.If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
Everybody has a heart. Except some people.
Bette Davis
I am a woman meant for a man, but I never found a man who could compete.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Dramatic art in her opinion is knowing how to fill a sweater.
Bette Davis
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today I knew it then as purpose.
Bette Davis
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
Bette Davis
You can lose everything but you can't lose your talent!
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
She's the original good time who was had by all.
Bette Davis
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
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
Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they're too perplexed about the whole female situation probably.
Bette Davis
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
Bette Davis
