Kirk Douglas
What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.
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
The older you get, the more awards you get. So, if you live long enough, then you get all the awards eventually.
Kirk Douglas
The learning process continues until the day you die.
Kirk Douglas
My kids never had the advantages I had. I was born poor.
