Bette Davis Quotes

One can be respected with the truth in Hollywood just as much as anywhere else you know or else I wouldn’t have had a career Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Actually, I think business women are better women at home, if you want to know the truth because you do understand what goes into a day’s work out in the world, a very nerve-racking affair Picture Quote #1

The real female should be partly male and the real male should be partly female anyway Picture Quote #1

If men found out how to give birth to children they’ll never propose again Picture Quote #1

It’s a very independent male creature that lives alone, and a lot of independent females who live alone. It’s all very sad but it’s much easier for both sexes to do it this way nowadays Picture Quote #1

Women are the essential part of the theater but the writers are not writing about women. I think they’re too perplexed about the whole female situation probably Picture Quote #1

The world’s all full of thoughts about wars and space, and tragedies to the world. That’s what writers are thinking about because that’s what the world is thinking about Picture Quote #1

Gay Liberation? I ain’t against it, it’s just that there’s nothing in it for me Picture Quote #1

I don’t think of myself as a character actress - that’s become a phrase which means you’ve had it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Today everyone is a star - they’re all billed as ‘starring’ or ‘also starring’. In my day, we earned that recognition Picture Quote #1

I could never understand the attraction of Bette Davis. I always preferred Jane Russell Picture Quote #1

I adore Bette Davis and Vivien Leigh, but more because they were good actresses. That’s what makes me interested in them, that they didn’t present themselves as idols, they were just doing their jobs Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe directed by Mr. Roger Corman, it could not fully express the pent-up violence and depravity of a single day in the life of the average family Picture Quote #1

The act of sex, gratifying as it may be, is God’s joke on humanity. It is man’s last desperate stand at superintendency Picture Quote #1

Don’t you hate people who drink white wine? I mean, my dear, every alcoholic in town is getting falling-down drunk on white wine. They think they aren’t drunks because they only drink wine. Never, never trust anyone who asks for white wine. It means they’re phonies Picture Quote #1

I think one of my favourite films is ‘Dark Victory’ with Bette Davis. Why? She was so wonderful in that film. And maybe I just want a good cry once in a while without having to go through a divorce Picture Quote #1

The casting couch? There’s only one of us who ever made it to stardom without it, and that was Bette Davis Picture Quote #1

I didn’t forget your breakfast. I didn’t bring your breakfast. Because you didn’t eat your din-din Picture Quote #1

My favourite actors are all dead or dying. I just love Jimmy Stewart, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn - I was named after her - and Cary Grant. I just love old black and white movies and the stars in them. It must have been a great time to be in Hollywood Picture Quote #1

Look, you’re either loved or hated. Which is a good thing, as Bette Davis used to say Picture Quote #1

I always knew I was going to be successful in some way with films. I don’t know why. I had no particular talent, but I always knew I was going to be sitting in a dining room with Lucille Ball and at a cocktail party with Bette Davis Picture Quote #1

I loved all those classic figures from the 30s and 40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent Picture Quote #1

I watch an awful lot of old Hollywood movies - Ill devour anything with Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. My absolute favourite is Sunset Boulevard starring Gloria Swanson Picture Quote #1

When asked what it takes to succeed in the acting profession, Bette Davis would answer, the courage to be hated Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in conversational rhythm. I think in terms of rhythmic dialogue. It’s so easy, you can talk naturally. It’s like peas rolling off a knife. Take the great screen actors and actresses, Bette Davis, Eddie Robinson, Jimmy Cagney, Spencer Tracy. They all talk in rhythm. And rhythm and movement are the life of the screen Picture Quote #1

Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I’m afraid it did Picture Quote #1

The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Picture Quote #1
