Bette Davis

Discipline is a symbol of caring to a child.He needs guidance.If there is love, there is no such thing as being too tough with a child. A parent must also not be afraid to hang himself. If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.

If you've never been hated by your child, you've never been a parent.

The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.

When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.

Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I'm afraid it did.

Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.

I'd luv to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.

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.

The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.

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

There are new words now that excuse everybody. Give me the good old days of heroes and villains, the people you can bravo or hiss. There was a truth to them that all the slick credulity of today cannot touch.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.

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

I was never very interested in boys - and there were plenty of them - vying with one another to see how many famous women they would get into the hay.

I work to stay alive.

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

This has always been a motto of mine: Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.
