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.

A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.

I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

I think that, in almost all human beings, there is buried a profound tribal instinct that makes us very susceptible to being aroused to patriotic fervour.
