Kirk Douglas
Listen - pacemaker, crash, stroke. What does it mean? God doesn't want me now. That's all.
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
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas

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

Kirk Douglas
We look for wine when we should be hunting bread.
Kirk Douglas
Being seventy has its advantages. I was outspoken before, but now what have I got to keep quiet about?
Kirk Douglas
When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
Kirk Douglas
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
What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.
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
My children didn't have my advantages I was born into abject poverty.
Kirk Douglas
