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
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
Kirk Douglas
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
Kirk Douglas
