More quotes by Kirk Douglas
I came from abject poverty. There was nowhere to go but up.
Kirk Douglas
When you reach 95, after you get over your surprise, you start looking back.
Kirk Douglas
Streets crowded with people strolling, or sitting at outdoor cafes. And always, talking, gesturing, singing, laughing. I liked Rome immediately.Everybody was a performer.
Kirk Douglas
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
Kirk Douglas
I've played some good guys as well, in Spartacus, Paths of Glory and my favorite picture, Lonely Are the Brave, so I had a mixture of parts in my life.
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
My kids never had the advantages I had. I was born poor.
Kirk Douglas
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
Kirk Douglas
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
I have been trying to create a campaign to have our country make an apology for slavery, for the way that blacks were treated before the Civil War and after the Civil War.
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
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
The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.
Kirk Douglas
You haven't learned how to live until you've learned how to give.
Kirk Douglas
When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
Kirk Douglas
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
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
I never wanted to be in movies. In a sense, I'm still a failure because I wanted to be a star on the stage.
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
When you get to my age, you find that most of your dear friends are gone.
