More quotes by Kirk Douglas
I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.
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
The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.
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
Virtue is not photogenic.
Kirk Douglas
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
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
The older you get, the more awards you get. So, if you live long enough, then you get all the awards eventually.
Kirk Douglas
Being seventy has its advantages. I was outspoken before, but now what have I got to keep quiet about?
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
I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts.
Kirk Douglas
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
Kirk Douglas
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
Kirk Douglas

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 first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
Kirk Douglas
When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
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
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
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
