More quotes by Michael Douglas
Players never die - they just try their luck at another table.
Michael Douglas
Cancer did not bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet.
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
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
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
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 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
You have to make entertaining movies. But like a good meal, it's nice to have a little food for thought after you walk out of the theater rather than just wiling away a couple of hours.
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
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
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
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Michael Douglas
We must unite to make nuclear weapons a horror of the past.
Michael Douglas
Every empire eventually falls.
Michael Douglas
Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.
Michael Douglas
The one thing that men and women have in common - they both like the company of men.
Michael Douglas
For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.
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 impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Michael Douglas
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
