More quotes by Kirk Douglas
Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back?
Kirk Douglas
I was going to play in First Blood, but I suggested to changing it and I dropped out. I said to [Silvester] Stallone, 'You know, I almost stopped you from making millions of dollars,' because in my suggestion, I killed his character at the end of the picture .
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
Fear is a terrible thing. It makes you do awful things.
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
My kids never had the advantages I had. I was born poor.
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 get to my age, you find that most of your dear friends are gone.
Kirk Douglas
Virtue is not photogenic.
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
Fame is as much about luck as it is about talent, perhaps more.
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
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
The learning process continues until the day you die.
Kirk Douglas
I think that [Barack] Obama was elected because young people are starting to get interested in their country and I think that's a very healthy thing.
Kirk Douglas
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
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
If you want to know about a man you can find out an awful lot by looking at who he married.
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
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
