Bette Davis
"We movie stars all end up by ourselves. Who knows? Maybe we want to."
"I'm the nicest goddamn dame that ever lived."
"From the moment I was six I felt sexy. And let me tell you it was hell, sheer hell, waiting to do something about it."
"Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life."
"Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism."
"I don't take the movies seriously, and anyone who does is in for a headache."
"It's better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for someone you're not. It's a sign of your worth sometimes, if you're hated by the right people."
"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."
"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."
"At 50, I thought proudly, 'Here we are, half century!' Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black afro wig, wore black clothes, and hung a black wreath on my door."

Hum, dovetails with my post today. Chess is one of my favorite things for sure, although I don't get to play that much these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Charles! Oh, I simply love chess -- among other things it helps me de-stress like nothing else. It keeps my grey cells alive, as they say.
