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.

More quotes by Bette Davis
I work to stay alive.
Bette Davis
I have often seen an actor laugh off the stage, but I don't remember ever having seen one weep.
Bette Davis
Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.
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
Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.
Bette Davis
If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
Bette Davis
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
Bette Davis
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
Bette Davis
I went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.
Bette Davis
Strong women only marry weak men.
Bette Davis
The real actor - like any real artistj- has a direct line to the collective heart.
Bette Davis
Yes, burn your bridges.
Bette Davis
Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.
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
If men found out how to give birth to children they'll never propose again.
Bette Davis
She's the original good time who was had by all.
Bette Davis
Old age ain't for sissies
Bette Davis
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
Bette Davis
You know what nostalgia is, don't you? It's basically a matter of recalling the fun without reliving the pain.
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.
