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
If I have to speak in public, I am terrified.
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.
