More quotes by Bette Davis
I've lost my faith in science.
Bette Davis
From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it.
Bette Davis
Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.
Bette Davis
Your luck is how you treat people.
Bette Davis
If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.
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
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
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.
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
I sent my flowers across the hall to Mrs Nixon but her husband remembered what a Democrat I am and sent them back.
Bette Davis
Yes, burn your bridges.
Bette Davis
I think it's just too much trouble to be dishonest and keep up with yourself.
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
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
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
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
Bette Davis
Technicolor makes me look like death warmed over.
Bette Davis
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
Bette Davis
We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to.
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.
