Bette Davis

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!

I'd marry a man on the moon if he promised to buy me a Cadillac.

I was always very independent, and I was never afraid to say what I thought.

Old age is not for sissies.

The only way to get over a man is to get under another one.

I will not be a Hollywood housewife!

You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.

I have been uncompromising, peppery, hot-tempered, difficult, and often disagreeable. I have never been a bore.

The best time to make friends is before you need them.

Hollywood has a way of wearing you down.

I'd rather have a bad script with a good director than a good script with a bad director.

Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells.

I was never a sex symbol. I was a character actress.

To survive in Hollywood, you have to be as tough as nails.

I've been through it all, and I'm still here.

I wouldn't give a nickel for a dame that didn't have a temper.

The only way to be happy is to be yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

I'm a survivor. I always have been.

I've had a wonderful life, full of ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm not a lady. I'm an actress.
