More quotes by 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
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
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
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 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 don't need a critic to tell me I'm an actor. I make my own way. Nobody's my boss. Nobody's ever been my boss.
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
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
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
Kirk Douglas
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.
Kirk Douglas
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
Kirk Douglas
You haven't learned how to live until you've learned how to give.
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
What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.
Kirk Douglas
I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts.
Kirk Douglas
We look for wine when we should be hunting bread.
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
Maybe there is no peace in this world. I don't know ... But I know as long as we live we must stay true to ourselves.
Kirk Douglas
Why can't a woman be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive.
Kirk Douglas
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
