We look for wine when we should be hunting bread.
Kirk Douglas
I remember little things that break my heart. We were coming out of Michael's house one day, and he noticed my shoelaces were undone. He bent down and tied them. I almost cried. To me, it was such a gesture of love.
Kirk Douglas
I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.
Kirk Douglas
Being seventy has its advantages. I was outspoken before, but now what have I got to keep quiet about?

Know what a loner is? He's a born cripple. He's a cripple because the only person he can live with is himself. It's his life, the way he wants to live. It's all for him.

Kirk Douglas
The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.
Kirk Douglas
The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.
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
Fear is a terrible thing. It makes you do awful things.
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
I have a great respect for actors like Clint Eastwood, who's a wonderful director. I think two pictures that I directed were not successful, so I decided not to make any more.
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
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
Kirk Douglas
The older you get, the more awards you get. So, if you live long enough, then you get all the awards eventually.
