More quotes by 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
I don't think of myself as a character actress - that's become a phrase which means you've had it.
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 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
You can lose everything but you can't lose your talent!
Bette Davis
If Hollywood didn't work out, I was prepared to be the best secretary in the world.
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
The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway.
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
Success is built on disappointment, and disappointment is inherent in all success.
Bette Davis
I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.
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
Old age ain't for sissies
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 am a woman meant for a man, but I never found a man who could compete.
Bette Davis
The real actor - like any real artistj- has a direct line to the collective heart.
Bette Davis
Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than 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
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
Bette Davis
I was thought to be stuck up. I wasn't. i was just sure of myself.
