Quote by Bette Davis

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger than life. It should all be bigger than life.

Acting should be bigger than life. Scripts should be bigger

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that in the realm of acting and storytelling, everything should be exaggerated and larger than what we experience in real life. It suggests that performances, scripts, and narratives should transcend the ordinary and mundane, aiming to capture the audience's attention and imagination. By embracing this larger-than-life approach, actors and writers can create more captivating and memorable experiences that transport people away from reality.

Most of us are conditioned for many years to have a political viewpoint -- Republican or Democratic, liberal, conservative, or moderate. The fact of the matter is that most of the problems that we now face are technical problems, are administrative problems. They are very sophisticated judgments, which do not lend themselves to the great sort of passionate movements which have stirred this country so often in the past. They deal with questions which are now beyond the comprehension of most men.
