All these quotes are by Bette Davis. She was a wonderful actress and I loved her take on Hollywood. I admire people who think for themselves. It is not necessary to follow someone else's lead at any time. Great minds don't think alike, they think differently.
The male ego with few exceptions is elephantine to start with.
I've no time for broads who want to rule the world alone. Without men, who'd do up the zipper on the back of your dress?
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.
