More quotes by Bette Davis
I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.
Bette Davis
Everybody has a heart. Except some people.
Bette Davis
I survived because I was tougher than anybody else.
Bette Davis
I never said anything that was unprintable. Never said anything just for the sake of being startling.
Bette Davis
Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it's not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.
Bette Davis
You mustn't miss the moment. There's only one first sailing into Rio harbor.
Bette Davis
Life is the past, the present and the perhaps.
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
Almost as many inhumanities are committed in the name of love as in the name of religion.
Bette Davis
It's a rare man who can stand being around an intelligent woman, let alone married to her.
Bette Davis
I believe one should be a woman at home.
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
Today everyone is a star - they're all billed as 'starring' or 'also starring'. In my day, we earned that recognition.
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
One begins to realize that one is getting old when the birthday candles weigh more than the cake.
Bette Davis
Psychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
Bette Davis
Strong women only marry weak men.
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
If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.
Bette Davis
With the newspaper strike on, I wouldn't consider dying.
Bette Davis
