The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.
Kirk Douglas
I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.
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
I bought the book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I paid to have it made into a play and I played in it for six months. I came back and I tried to make it into a movie, without success.
Kirk Douglas
A stroke is a very difficult thing. You get depressed. . . . What I found was this: the cure for depression is to think of others, to do for others. You can always find something to be grateful for.

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
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
Kirk Douglas
My kids never had the advantages I had. I was born poor.
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
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.
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.
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
When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
