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
I think that [Barack] Obama was elected because young people are starting to get interested in their country and I think that's a very healthy thing.
Kirk Douglas
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
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
I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.
Kirk Douglas
I never wanted to be in movies. In a sense, I'm still a failure because I wanted to be a star on the stage.
Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
Being seventy has its advantages. I was outspoken before, but now what have I got to keep quiet about?
Kirk Douglas
I've played some good guys as well, in Spartacus, Paths of Glory and my favorite picture, Lonely Are the Brave, so I had a mixture of parts in my life.
