More quotes by 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
It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
Michael Douglas
Being single is pretty good. It's a nice sense of irresponsibility.
Michael Douglas
The one thing that men and women have in common - they both like the company of men.

A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Michael Douglas
For an actor, its great fun to play one of these hungry white sharks. Audiences love to hate them.
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
Players never die - they just try their luck at another table.
Michael Douglas

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
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
Every empire eventually falls.
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
It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation.
Michael Douglas
I thought I could never be the actor Dad was, so I avoided it for a while.
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
When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move.
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.
