More quotes by Bette Davis
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
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.
Bette Davis
Sex is God's joke on human beings.
Bette Davis
I've always liked men better than women.
Bette Davis
If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
Bette Davis
Dramatic art in her opinion is knowing how to fill a sweater.
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
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.
Bette Davis
I have been at war from the beginning. I've never looked back before. I've never had the time and it has always seemed so dangerous. To look back is to relax one's vigil.
Bette Davis
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
Bette Davis
If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.
Bette Davis
I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.
Bette Davis
It is my last wish to be burried sitting up.
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
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
I don't think in business it matters whether you're a man or a woman if you can do your job and have a brain.
Bette Davis
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
Bette Davis
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
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
If men found out how to give birth to children they'll never propose again.
Bette Davis
