More quotes by Michael Douglas
It's a phenomenon that I see with young actors - a lot of American speaking parts going to British actors.
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 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 fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.
Michael Douglas
I am a Jew. Those are four words of pride. My Jewishness is as deep as my genes.
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
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
Someone reminded me I once said, 'Greed is good.' Now it seems it's legal.
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
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.
Michael Douglas
It's all about bucks, kid. The rest is conversation.
Michael Douglas
Wherever arms flow, violence follows. Bullets replace ballots as the solution to political disputes.
Michael Douglas
Basketball is great no one in Europe seems to believe just how close the spectators can sit to the players.
Michael Douglas
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Michael Douglas
What's worth doing is worth doing for money.
Michael Douglas
Every empire eventually falls.
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
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
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
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.
