In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
Kirk Douglas
You'll never see Spartacus in a (expletive) chair!
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
My mother, we were a very poor family. When I was a kid, we would be in our little room, and there would be a knock on the door almost every night with a hobo begging for food. Even though we didn't even have enough to eat, my mother always found something to give them.
Kirk Douglas
When you reach 95, after you get over your surprise, you start looking back.

Kirk Douglas
Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all.
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'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.
Kirk Douglas
Virtue is not photogenic.
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
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
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
Why can't a woman be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive.
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
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
Kirk Douglas
Fear is a terrible thing. It makes you do awful things.
Kirk Douglas
