My mother, we were a very poor family. When I was a kid, we would be in our little room, and there would be a knock on the door almost every night with a hobo begging for food. Even though we didn't even have enough to eat, my mother always found something to give them.

Kirk Douglas
What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.
Kirk Douglas
When you get old the worst thing is you lose so many friends. Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne. People who I loved to work with.
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?
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
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
Kirk Douglas
