Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
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
You'll never see Spartacus in a (expletive) chair!
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
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
My mother and my father were illiterate immigrants from Russia. When I was a child they were constantly amazed that I could go to a building and take a book on any subject. They couldn't believe this access to knowledge we have here in America. They couldn't believe that it was free.
Kirk Douglas
My children didn't have my advantages I was born into abject poverty.
