More quotes by Michael Douglas
The hardest thing about sex scenes is that everybody is a judge. I don't know the last time you murdered somebody or blew anyone's brains out, but everyone has had sex and probably this morning, which means everyone has an opinion on how it should be done.
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
It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation.
Michael Douglas
Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.
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
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
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
A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.
Michael Douglas
Players never die - they just try their luck at another table.
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
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
Cancer did not bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet.
Michael Douglas
I'm not a big filmophile. I don't watch movies a lot for a hobby. I spend all my time watching sporting events. Because, opposed to movies, you can never tell how they're going to end.
Michael Douglas
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
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
We must unite to make nuclear weapons a horror of the past.
Michael Douglas
Wherever arms flow, violence follows. Bullets replace ballots as the solution to political disputes.
Michael Douglas
I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while.
Michael Douglas
What's worth doing is worth doing for money.
Michael Douglas
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
