More quotes by Bette Davis
I was the female Marlon Brando of my generation.
Bette Davis
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
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 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
I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived.
Bette Davis
If men found out how to give birth to children they'll never propose again.
Bette Davis
Playing our parts. Yes, we all have to do that and from childhood on, I have found that my own character has been much harder to play worthily and far harder at times to comprehend than any of the roles I have portrayed.
Bette Davis
It is my last wish to be burried sitting up.
Bette Davis

Bette Davis
Gay Liberation? I ain't against it, it's just that there's nothing in it for me.
Bette Davis
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
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 never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.
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
Old age is no place for sissies.
Bette Davis
You can lose everything but you can't lose your talent!
Bette Davis
I've always liked men better than women.
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
I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.
Bette Davis
People stood on their chairs, cheering and waving. And it was all for me! Waves of love flooded the stage and washed over me. I started to cry. The sweetness of such a moment is impossible to describe. One is both lover and beloved. ... I'd found the one true, enduring romance of my life.
Bette Davis
