All About Eve

“All About Eve. This is so good, too. There’s too many movies to see. Isn’t it overwhelming? I find it very overwhelming. I’ll never see all the movies in this lifetime. But, boy, is that good. Look at Bette Davis.”

“All About Eve. Gorgeous. Perfect. I’m all about it. I’m All About Eve.”

“All About Eve. I am a gay man after all. Bette Davis – of course, there’s, “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night,” but the line for me, for some reason, has always been... “As it happens, there are certain aspects of my life to which I want the sole and exclusive rights,” or something. And then Bill says, “For instance, what?” “For instance, you.” And it’s… indelible. It’s burned into my brain.”

“So the first film that I’m gonna pick is my favorite film, All About Eve. Bette Davis is incredible. Anne Baxter, who plays Eve Harrington, is incredible. I watch this movie at least once a year, sometimes multiple times a year. I just think this is a perfect film, and I think everybody should watch this.”

“Since I was a little girl and I had Insomnia and I used to watch Million Dollar Movie All Night Long in New York City... I fell in love with Bette Davis, the first real character actress star. She didn't care what she looked like... Now she happens to look gorgeous in All About Eve and she is so brilliant. Joseph Mankiewicz directed it, you got to see it.”

“Well look, I'm an actress, okay, so All About Eve is required watching because, you know, probably at any given time you're either like Bette Davis or you're Anne Baxter. I mean, I don't really love seeing women pitted against each other type movies, if there is one movie where I will watch it, it is this one because it is clever and sharp and clearly of a time when women gave as good as they got.”
