More quotes by Michael Douglas
Every empire eventually falls.
Michael Douglas
Everybody knows about Las Vegas. It's a state of mind. Some people want to come with their kids and have a great weekend. Some people want to shop. Some people want to find hookers. Some people want to eat. Some people just want to gamble. It's a potpourri of decadence.
Michael Douglas
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
Michael Douglas
Wherever arms flow, violence follows. Bullets replace ballots as the solution to political disputes.
Michael Douglas
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Michael Douglas
When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
Michael Douglas
If we confront anti-Semitism ... if we combat it individually and as a society, and use whatever platform we have to denounce it, we can stop the spread of this madness.
Michael Douglas
I never thought about the gayness. Liberace just looked like he was having so much fun. And that whole idea of talking directly to the audience, you just went along with him. He made you happy. And he's finally getting acknowledged for all the Elton John, Lady Gaga, Madonna theatrics now that people are looking at his old costumes.
Michael Douglas
It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
Michael Douglas
When I look at myself as a younger actor, I see what a tight ass I was. I had a pretty big shadow because of my father and the comparisons. I was self-conscious about that. Now I realize there was nothing to be worried about.
Michael Douglas
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies and cuts through to the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Michael Douglas
There was a lot of tabloid journalism about my supposed sex addiction. Bullshit. It's all bullshit. I mean, come on, I never pretended to be a saint. But give me a break.
Michael Douglas
Money itself isn’t lost or made. It’s simply transferred from one perception to another.
Michael Douglas
Being single is pretty good. It's a nice sense of irresponsibility.
Michael Douglas
What's worth doing is worth doing for money.
Michael Douglas
It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation.
Michael Douglas
Even when you're acting with a producing hat, when you're in every scene, you're really conscious of trying to make everybody as good as they are, because ultimately you're trying to make the best movie possible.
Michael Douglas
I'm questioning it. We're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and I'm wondering... You look at these gangs, and I look back at Prohibition. When we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have? We had gangs. We had big gangs. It's something that needs to be discussed a little more. It's an economic issue and a violence issue.
Michael Douglas
That's why I'm such a big sports fan, with sports you can never guess what's gonna happen. Most movies you get halfway through and you can kind of guess the ending.
Michael Douglas
For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.
