More quotes by Kirk Douglas
I know Italians and I like them. A lot of my father's best friends were Italians.
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
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
I remember little things that break my heart. We were coming out of Michael's house one day, and he noticed my shoelaces were undone. He bent down and tied them. I almost cried. To me, it was such a gesture of love.

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
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
The older you get, the more awards you get. So, if you live long enough, then you get all the awards eventually.
Kirk Douglas
In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.
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
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
I have always been grateful that my Russian mother and father came to this country to give me a better chance, and I have had a better chance.
Kirk Douglas
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
