More quotes by Kirk Douglas
The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.
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.
Kirk Douglas
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
Kirk Douglas
On a crowded bus in Israel, a mother was speaking to her son in Yiddish. An Israeli woman reprimanded her. You should be speaking Hebrew. Why are you talking to him in Yiddish? The mother answered, I don't want he should forget he's a Jew.
Kirk Douglas
The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.
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
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.
Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
You'll never see Spartacus in a (expletive) chair!
Kirk Douglas
The first time I had got an offer to come to Hollywood, I turned it down. I said, No, I'm an actor of the stage.
Kirk Douglas
A stroke is a very difficult thing. You get depressed. . . . What I found was this: the cure for depression is to think of others, to do for others. You can always find something to be grateful for.
Kirk Douglas
I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.
Kirk Douglas
I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts.
Kirk Douglas
Hail to the Chief was played, and the President got up and made a gracious opening remark. I've been in this office for six years, and yet every time I hear that music, I turn around wondering who they're playing it for.
Kirk Douglas
If I have to speak in public, I am terrified.
Kirk Douglas
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
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 have a great respect for actors like Clint Eastwood, who's a wonderful director. I think two pictures that I directed were not successful, so I decided not to make any more.
Kirk Douglas
We look for wine when we should be hunting bread.
Kirk Douglas
