Bette Davis

I went back to work because someone had to pay for the groceries.

I work to stay alive.

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

I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless.

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

Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

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.
