More quotes by Kirk Douglas
Virtue is not photogenic. What is it to be a nice guy? To be nothing, that's what. A big fat zero with a smile for everybody.
Kirk Douglas
The older you get, the more awards you get. So, if you live long enough, then you get all the awards eventually.
Kirk Douglas
I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.
Kirk Douglas
I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.

My mother and my father were illiterate immigrants from Russia. When I was a child they were constantly amazed that I could go to a building and take a book on any subject. They couldn't believe this access to knowledge we have here in America. They couldn't believe that it was free.

I have been trying to create a campaign to have our country make an apology for slavery, for the way that blacks were treated before the Civil War and after the Civil War.
Kirk Douglas
The biggest lie is the lie we tell ourselves in the distorted visions we have of ourselves, blocking out some sections, enhancing others. What remains are not the cold facts of life, but how we perceive them. That's really who we are.
Kirk Douglas
Know what a loner is? He's a born cripple. He's a cripple because the only person he can live with is himself. It's his life, the way he wants to live. It's all for him.
Kirk Douglas
You'll never see Spartacus in a (expletive) chair!

I bought the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I paid to have it made into a play and I played in it for six months. I came back and I tried to make it into a movie, without success.
Kirk Douglas
What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.

Virtue is not photogenic.
Kirk Douglas
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
Kirk Douglas
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.
Kirk Douglas
When you get old the worst thing is you lose so many friends. Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne. People who I loved to work with.
Kirk Douglas
I was going to play in First Blood, but I suggested to changing it and I dropped out. I said to [Silvester] Stallone, 'You know, I almost stopped you from making millions of dollars,' because in my suggestion, I killed his character at the end of the picture .
Kirk Douglas
I remember little things that break my heart. We were coming out of Michael's house one day, and he noticed my shoelaces were undone. He bent down and tied them. I almost cried. To me, it was such a gesture of love.
Kirk Douglas
If I can get enough signatures, to present an apology to slavery, I will present it to the President. The House of Representatives has already passed the resolution for the apology, but it has to pass the Senate. I think, in spite of all our problems, I think we're in the right direction.
