More quotes by 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
If everybody likes you, you are not a very interesting person.
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
I've always liked men better than women.
Bette Davis
Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.
Bette Davis
In this business, until you're known as a monster you're not a star.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
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
I didn't forget your breakfast. I didn't bring your breakfast. Because you didn't eat your din-din.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
Bette Davis
Old age is no place for sissies.
Bette Davis
Gay Liberation? I ain't against it, it's just that there's nothing in it for me.
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
The real actor - like any real artistj- has a direct line to the collective heart.
Bette Davis
Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.
Bette Davis
Sex is God's joke on human beings.
Bette Davis
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
Bette Davis
Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they're phonies.
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
She's the original good time who was had by all.
Bette Davis
