More quotes by Kirk Douglas
Really a bad guy is more interesting, dramatically, than the good guy.
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
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
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
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
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
The best wine comes from home, wherever it is.
Kirk Douglas
When you become a star, you don't change - everyone else does.
Kirk Douglas
Maybe there is no peace in this world. I don't know ... But I know as long as we live we must stay true to ourselves.
Kirk Douglas
On a crowded bus in Israel, a mother was speaking to her son in Yiddish. An Israeli woman reprimanded her. You should be speaking Hebrew. Why are you talking to him in Yiddish? The mother answered, I don't want he should forget he's a Jew.
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
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
The first thing I look for in a woman is warmth-femininity. It's got nothing to do with a pretty face.
Kirk Douglas
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
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 went to Hollywood to test for Martha Ivers and I thought I was going to play the part that Van Heflin played.But they wanted me to play the part of Barbara Stanwyck's husband, so I played that. Then when I finished the movie, I went back to Broadway and did another flop.
Kirk Douglas
When you reach 95, after you get over your surprise, you start looking back.
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
My kids never had the advantages I had. I was born poor.
