When you reach 95, after you get over your surprise, you start looking back.
Kirk Douglas
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.

What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.
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
I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.
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

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
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
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
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
Kirk Douglas
The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.
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
Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all.
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
I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts.
Kirk Douglas
